She has worked as theatre coordinator and is an inspirational nurse whose dedication and commitment have steered us through some of the toughest times, most recently being the Covid-19 pandemic.

“Julie’s passion for working at County Hospital is why we as her colleagues are also so enthusiastic, wanting the hospital to succeed and be the centre of surgical excellence we know it can be. Not only does Julie support County but she also stepped in and supported the teams at Royal Stoke when they have needed it.

“Julie knows and supports every one of her staff members; she knows how to get the best out of her team and will fight for every one of them. 34 years’ service is also a major achievement in such a busy department and we commend her for it.”
