Many of our members that have passed through the Glasgow spinal unit will have passed through the capable hands of Mahananda Veerappa Jigajinni, more commonly known as Dr Jig.
Mahananda Qualified in India 1978 and then subsequently gained her Scottish qualification in Glasgow in 1981.
International Nurses Day is celebrated annually around the world on 12 May – the anniversary of the birth of Florence Nightingale – and is led by the International Council of Nurses.
Last year we asked our members to nominate a nurse who most helped them in their time of need We shared the most inspiring stories on our social media channels and surprised some of them with a big bunch of flowers
Obviously, our nurses deserve a whole lot more than this, but the ones we managed to track down were incredibly touched that our members had thought so highly of them and there was barely a dry eye in the place!
The day was such a success that we would like to repeat the gesture this year
If you have a nurse that you would like to nominate in 2023, please email their details (Name/Hospital or Clinic) along with a testimonial to info@spinalinjuriesscotland org uk
This is a special day that aims to share the incredible achievements and wonderful stories about how nurses all over Scotland have made a big difference in their patients' lives that truly demonstrate the best of nursing
She worked in Spinal Unit Edinburgh Edenhall Hospital between 1985 and 1991.
In 1992 she was promoted to Staff Grade and progressed to Spinal Specialty Doctor at the QENSIU. At the end of March 23, Dr Jig is taking her well earned retirement.
We would be delighted if you would like to share your memories and well wishes with us, we will collect these and share them with the good doctor. Please email Info@spinalinjuriesscotland.org.uk
