A celebratory night at Carrigan’s Blantyre marked the retirement of Elizabeth (Liz) Campbell who retired from NHS Lanarkshire in June after nine years service.

The addictions charge nurse who was based at Hunter Health Centre, East Kilbride, entered nursing later in her career, initially working in Glasgow with the eating disorders service and then with the Lanarkshire Alcohol and Drugs Service (LAADS).  During her career, Liz also undertook a secondment with the MIDIS team delivering training.

Liz lives in Bellshill and is devoted to her daughter (Jen) and son (Nick).  In her spare time she enjoys interior design, having moved homes every few years.

Michael Taylor, senior charge nurse, said: “We are sorry to see Liz leave addiction services as she has been a valued colleague over the years.  Liz always acted as a role model for staff in her professionalism and tenacity in advocating for her patients.  She will be missed by all her colleagues in LAADS and also by her patients”.
