A DOCTOR has retired from hospital after 27 thoroughly enjoyable years of caring for sick children.
Dr Jane Burnett became a clinical assistant in paediatrics at the old Westmorland County Hospital in Kendal when she was a mother of two small children, with another baby on the way.
Later she combined that work with being a GP in Bentham an increasingly busy role, which she is to continue.
"I've thoroughly enjoyed my years working in children's outpatients in Westmorland General Hospital, for ten years with Dr Paul Gibson, and before him Dr Trevor Matthews, at the old hospital," said Dr Burnett.
"I've learned much from the children and their parents."
Dr Burnett told the Gazette she would like to give special mention to the "truly wonderful" hospital secretaries, who did not often get publicly recognised.
Dr Burnett, who has four children with husband Tim, a retired Kirkby Lonsdale GP, said she hopes now to have more free time to spend with her husband. The couple, who live in Kirkby Lonsdale, enjoy walking and seeing their adored grandchildren.
