The Voice of Spalding and South Holland
A member of the NHS team in Spalding has recently marked 40 years’ service with the organisation.
Lynn Davies, a community nursing assistant in the Spalding and Stamford Adult Community Health Trust, was among 64 people at a presentation.
She started work in 1977 at the Rauceby Hospital in Sleaford, aged 16, as a member of the domestic team.
She then moved onto becoming a ward orderly and worked across a number of wards until the hospital closed in 1998.
Now the services locally are run by the Lincolnshire Partnership NHS Foundation Trust.
“I don’t remember ever wanting to work anywhere other than the NHS.
“Even after 40 years, I am still highly motivated. It is important to me to make a difference every day, and I get good patient feedback, which keeps me going too,” she said.
Director of nursing Anne-Maria Olphert, said: “We are delighted to be celerating these milestones with so many colleagues who have chosen to build their careers in the NHS.
“We work hard to offer rewarding roles to help keep staff within our services. We value their skills and expertise in their respective areas, and the way in which they use their experience to offer the best services to our patients.
