OVER 400 years of service was celebrated at an NHS Borders retirement event
NHS Borders served afternoon tea and nostalgia at its recent retirement event at the Victoria Hall in Selkirk.
The event was an opportunity for many retired employees to catch up with old colleagues, share stories over a cup of tea and a scone. The afternoon provided a shared setting for ex-colleagues to look through old photo albums provided by The Exhibition of Peel Hospital as well as listening to music from the Back Row Band.
John Raine, Chairman at NHS Borders gave thanks to the retirees on behalf of his board for all the years of hard work by saying, “Those attending represent 424 years of service to the Borders community. It is important for the Health Board to recognise the dedication of those who have recently retired, many with long career service, and to say a big thank you for the contribution they have made.”
