I've finally retired from nursing at age of 95

Joyce Standring has dedicated her life to helping the sick, in various roles for the health service and hospitals in Britain and abroad.

At age 11 when the Second World War broke out, she joined the Red Cross and would go to the hospital every Saturday to help in the children's ward.

She began her healthcare career in January 1948 - six months before the NHS was formed. Since then she has worked as a midwife, theatre nurse, infection control nurse and senior administrator.
