June Simms obituary

June Simms obituary My mother, June Simms, who has died aged 92, was one of the first people to benefit from the newly created NHS in 1948, and among the first to give back, contributing as a nurse, theatre sister and midwife.

The new NHS came to her rescue. Continue reading... By Andrew Simms June Simms obituary to Continue reading... NHS Forums - For NHS Staff...
