Today is Midwife Chris' last day after 47 years in the NHS all with this Trust.
Chris started her training at Clatterbridge on 4th February 1976 and qualified as a Registered Nurse in 1979. She worked on the Children's Ward until October 1979 when she left to start Midwifery Training.
After qualifying as a Midwife she worked at Clatterbridge until the service moved into the newly built Arrowe Park Hospital.
She worked as a Community Midwife until 1998 when Team Midwifery was introduced and was the Team Coordinator for the then Lakeside Team.
When Team Midwifery ended in 2009 Chris took on the Locality Lead Midwife post for Wallasey Team until she took a flexi retirement in 2016.
Since then she has worked as a Community Midwife within Wallasey and West Wirral Community Teams. She has been the Community Midwife at Hoylake road Surgery for the past 14 years.
In 47 years Chris has only two and a half days off sick, which in itself is an amazing achievement!
As her Friends and colleagues we are going to miss her boundless energy and enthusiasm for a role she has excelled at.
More time on the golf course for her!
