@JoWatson99 Wishing you the happiest and healthiest of retirements Jo, take care and enjoy.

Bittersweet time for me 🥲 After 25 years working for the NHS I've decided to take early retirement. It's been such a privilege to have worked with so many wonderful people. I will miss you all but look forward to finding and exploring some new opportunities.
