The "Glenda and Annie team" is a hard act to follow, having spent 40 years together helping patients in RBWH surgical theatres. 👯♀️
This bestie duo has been working together since 1984 but have an even longer friendship dating back to high school, before they together did their nursing studies and worked at Metro North.
When Glenda was left short-staffed at RBWH one evening, she called on her trusted sidekick Annie who was based at TPCH, and they've been inseparable ever since.
"One night we only had three registered nurses on, but everyone was sick except me. We had this huge case come in, and I said, 'Annie I some need extra hands; I'm going to give you a lesson in 10 minutes on how to scout in an operating room' and it went from there," Glenda explains.
"I eventually got into theatre, and I've been there ever since. We’ve been very fortunate to work together, it's been an absolute privilege which I think is why we’ve stayed as long as we have," Annie said.
"In surgery, you are only as good as your scout nurse and I had the best one in Annie," Glenda added.
👏 A big #ShoutoutSaturday to Glenda and Annie, showing us what the power of two can do!
When Angels operates in Human form that's who you're..

Sunshine, sea-breeze and beautifully maintained gardens are just a few things you'll find at the Brighton Health Campus. 🌊🌴
One of the gardeners keeping the grounds in tip-top shape is Rob who says working out at Brighton has revived his passion in horticulture.
"I was at TPCH for 7 years, but this came up last July and I jumped at the chance, just to get your eyes on a new place and have a new challenge. I also get to pat multiple dogs every day between work," said Rob.
"I love anything to do with gardening; at the moment we are mulching which is laborious but it's the gratification of knowing what you’re going to achieve when it's done.
"The best type of gardens are ones where you don’t really notice a change, put me in the garden and I'm a happy camper!"
👏 A big #ShoutoutSaturday to Rob and all of our gardeners across Metro North! 🧑🌾🪴
