Today, we’re saying farewell to a Nuffield Health Bristol Hospital Legend, as our wonderful receptionist Lesley is retiring after an incredible 35 years of service. 💐
Whether she was greeting patients at Main Reception or in Outpatients, or simply having lunch in the staff dining room, Lesley’s warmth and infectious laugh made every day brighter. At the Christmas Party last year, she was even voted our very own “Mrs Sunshine” at the staff awards! 🌞
Earlier, we celebrated Lesley with cake, coffee, and a witty anecdote or two from the lady herself during a special presentation. Her favourite part of the job? Helping people – especially those feeling nervous or upset before surgery. ❤️
Lesley says she’ll miss her colleagues most of all: “I like to work hard – but I also like to have fun while I’m working.”
From all of us at the Bristol Hospital, thank you, Lesley, and enjoy your well-earned retirement! 😊
