Farewell and thank you, Deborah 💙

Last Friday, we said goodbye to our Chief Nurse, Deborah Kelly, as she left Croydon Health Services to take up a six-month secondment with an NHS organisation in Wales.

Since joining the Trust, Deborah has made a significant contribution to improving the experience of both our patients and colleagues. Her leadership, compassion and commitment to excellence have helped shape improvements across nursing, midwifery and AHP services, while her collaborative approach has empowered teams to drive positive change and deliver outstanding care.

To mark her departure, colleagues gathered for a special farewell celebration. There was laughter, reflection and plenty of appreciation as staff shared memories, took part in a light-hearted Deborah-themed quiz, and enjoyed a musical tribute from the Imperfect Choir. Deborah also took the opportunity to thank colleagues and reflect on what makes Croydon such a special place to work, encouraging everyone to continue striving to Achieve Excellence Together.

What stood out most during the celebration was the warmth and affection in the room, a testament to the positive impact Deborah has had on so many people across the Trust. Her energy, kindness and unwavering support for staff will be greatly missed.

On behalf of everyone at Croydon Health Services, we would like to thank Deborah for her dedication and wish her every success in her secondment and future career.

Good luck, Deborah, and thank you for everything you have done for 💙
