Tameside and Glossop NHS Integrated Care Foundation Trust celebrated long-serving colleagues at a recent award ceremony.

Those with 25 or 40 years' service in the NHS were recognised by Trust Chief Executive, Karen James OBE, and Chair, Jane McCall.

Overall, 2023 marked 25 years' service for 40 members of staff, with a further 10 reaching 40 years' service.

Collectively, those colleagues have given a whopping 1,400 years of service. They were each presented with a certificate and retail voucher.
