Cancer service manager Margaret Kelly said: “Kathryn has worked tirelessly for NHS Lanarkshire as a dedicated medical secretary and for the last years of her career in cancer services. Her devotion to do the role well has been exemplary – ensuring that letters for patients diagnosed with cancer in Hairmyres are sent to GPs and onward for treatment. It is now time for Kathryn to enjoy more of family life but a huge thank you from myself and the team for her commitment and outstanding work. We will miss her tremendously”.
