Ann heads off on her travels
After over 40 years’ service, theatre sister Ann McCullough has retired from the NHS.
Ann, who was based within the theatres at Wishaw General Hospital, joined the NHS in 1974 as a student nurse at Glasgow’s Stobhill Hospital.
In 1978, Ann joined NHS Lanarkshire’s theatre team at Law Hospital and, within a year, was promoted to the role of theatre sister. Following a period as night sister, Ann returned as day duty sister where she remained until her retirement.
Ann is married to Alan and has a daughter, two sons and two grandchildren.
In her spare time, Ann enjoys sewing, dressmaking and, following her retirement, plans to travel.
Elizabeth Brown, charge nurse, said: “Ann will be greatly missed within the department. She was a friend and colleague who was always reliable and a great support to all staff.”
