We are very, very sad to see our truly wonderful Nurse Desri begin her retirement today 😢

Desri has been an invaluable member of Brannam Medical Centre for over 35 years. Quite simply, what she doesn’t know about nursing isn’t worth knowing.

Desri has been an inspiration, supporter and fantastic role model for many a staff who have walked through the doors of Brannams. She will be greatly missed, not only for her endless clinical knowledge, but also as a wonderful friend to us all.

It was fantastic to see so many familiar faces from Brannam past come together to give Desri a send-off she won’t forget 💙

We wish Desri an amazing and well-deserved retirement… and we hope she doesn’t miss us too much! 😁
