A WELL-known Goole nurse is hanging up her uniform and saying a sad farewell to her colleagues and patients after 46 years of caring for local people.
Pat Duggan on her birthday and retirement day
Pat Duggan has spent her career working in Goole caring for thousands of local people but has decided now is the time to call it a day on her 66th birthday.
She began her career back in 1979 studying as an enrolled nurse with Scunthorpe and Goole School of Nursing working at the old St John’s and Bartholomew Hospital.
Talking about why she went into nursing, Pat said: “Right from being a little girl I knew it was what I wanted to do.
“My great-grandma was a tiny tot of a lady and from the age of about nine, I used to help take care of her.
“It was just simple things like making her a sandwich, popping her hair in curlers, making her bed, helping her to get a bath, but from this I just knew I wanted to do nursing and as I wanted to look after people”
