Grace McGregor retires

Grace McGregor retires

After 20 years service, senior support worker Grace McGregor retired from NHS Lanarkshire in December 2015.

Grace, who was attached to the speech and language therapy department at

Douglas Street Community Health Clinic, previously worked for Strathclyde Regional Council as part of the first ever cohort of speech and language therapy assistants recruited in Lanarkshire.

Grace lives in Larkhall with her husband Archie and has one son Ewan (27). In her spare time, Grace enjoys going to the theatre, reading and writing poetry. She is very creative and can make almost anything – knitting, dress-making and craftwork are just a few of her talents.

Team leader Lucy Scott said: “Grace has been part of the speech and language therapy team since 1995.  She was one of the first speech and language therapy assistants to start working in NHS Lanarkshire, a moment in history covered in the autumn edition of The Pulse in 1995.

Grace helped shape how speech and language therapy assistants work in Lanarkshire.  She is a dedicated and caring member of the team who has contributed to the development of our service, the hard working ethos of the Hamilton team and the positive outcomes for the children and young people we work with.

We will miss her very much but are also delighted that she will get to spend all her time doing the things she loves.  All the staff would like to thank Grace for being such a special member of the team and we wish her all the very best for her retirement.”
