INTERNATIONAL NURSES’ DAY
MUSIC TO HIS EARS EEN Danny Grammel was the proud recipient of Coledale Hospital’s Nursing Excellence Award on IND. The hospital holds the event each year, which recognises the outstanding efforts and achievements of its nurses. Management provided a delicious lunch for all nurses, and Danny was presented with an MP3 player. He is pictured cutting a celebratory cake to mark the occasion.

Pictured (left to right) are midwives Mary-Anne Howard Clarke, Jenni Sullivan, Pam Knowles, Hayden’s mother Maria Fenwick and midwives Donna Smith and Alinta Sutton.
