A Doctor at Derbyshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust has celebrated 40 years of long service with the NHS.
Carol Redston, a Specialty Doctor with expertise in mental health, recently received her 40 Years’ Service Award from Chief Executive, Mark Powell. This is a very special award which recognises the dedication and valuable contribution of employees over the course of their NHS careers.
In 2010, Carol began working for the Trust after previously working for Leicestershire Partnership NHS Trust.
Carol has been a Speciality Doctor throughout her employment with the Trust and has worked across a range of teams in our older adult mental health services.
Mark Powell, Chief Executive at Derbyshire Healthcare, applauded Carol and said: “It’s a real privilege to be able to celebrate colleagues who have reached an impressive milestone.
“On behalf of everyone at the Trust, I’d like to thank Carol for all she has done and continues to still do for our local community and our organisation. With Carol’s dedication, we have been able to make a positive difference to hundreds of people’s lives.”
Carol was shocked to receive a surprise visit from Mark, she said: “I've seen many changes during my working life and have loved working in the NHS. I trained as a GP initially and loved it, but found there was not enough time to talk to patients so I did a placement in psychiatry and that’s where my passion grew.”
