Oh Lesley, I’m going to miss you so much 🤍
My fabulous scrub nurse at UMI Clinic has moved on, and surgery days simply won’t feel the same without her.
When patients are awake during surgery, having someone beside them who can make them feel calm and reassured means everything. Lesley had such a rare gift for this. However nervous someone was, she put them at ease so effortlessly.
She was efficient, thoughtful and kind, and I loved working alongside her.
And just when you thought you knew her, another story would come out… scuba diving, playing the organ, travelling, baking, five children and a whole team of grandchildren! Such an interesting, wonderful woman.
Thank you, Lesley, for looking after my patients so beautifully and for being such a brilliant person to share a theatre with. Wishing you every happiness in your next chapter. They’ll be lucky to have you.
I really will miss you 🤍
