The motion

That this House celebrates Sharon Cornwell for 50 years of service in the NHS, beginning with her student nurse training in 1975, the day after her 18th birthday, at Cheltenham General Hospital; recognises her subsequent roles as a staff nurse on Ward Seven, which was a mixed general surgical ward, as well as in a male medical ward, in the endoscopy unit, as a Junior Sister, a Night Sister, Ward Manager of Prescott Ward and Site Manager; acknowledges Sharon’s achievement in opening one of the first surgical assessment areas in the country, a model so successful that staff from other trusts visited to learn from her work; and thanks Sharon for a remarkable five-decade career marked by professionalism, dedication and distinction.
