Support for 'amazing and inspirational' South Shields nurse who hopes to return to work in 2020
The South Shields community has been sharing messages of “love and luck” to a nurse who hopes to return to South Tyneside District Hospital in the new year.
Janet Ullah works as an auxiliary nurse on Ward 20 – but has been off for more than eight months after undergoing major surgery after being diagnosed with a rare form of sinus cancer.
Ahead of a meeting at Newcastle's Royal Victoria Infirmary in the new year, which will determine whether or not it is safe to carry out a further operation, Janet has spoken of how much she loves her job, and how it will be a “dream come true” to return to her patients.
She also hopes that 2020 will be the year that she, along with family, friends and colleagues, reaches a £10,000 milestone for equipment at the RVI’s Maxillo Facial Surgery unit.
