Farewell to nurse Liz

More than 70 nurses packed Danson Clinic, in Dansington Road, for Liz Packworth's retirement party.

After training as a midwife, Mrs Packworth, 62, of Gypsy Road, became a staff nurse at Erith Hospital. She then became a district nurse in Welling where she worked for 26 years.

Nurse Karen Wardle, who was trained by Mrs Packworth, said: “She has seen many changes to the role of district nurse over the years and has taken it in her stride. We wish her a happy retirement and hope she enjoys looking after her new grandson Henry.”
