This presentation was a popular and humorous talk given by Denise Adlard, a retired nurse and midwife, from West Yorkshire who started at 17 years of age as a pre-trainee until she retired 49 years and 1 week later.

Drawing on her nearly 50-year career in the NHS (predominantly as a District Nurse in Bradford), it was peppered with reminiscences and tales to amuse and entertain with funny and heart-warming stories from her life in medicine .
