NHS Queen
Hello and welcome back to my blog!
Our
appreciation as a country became evident when millions of people stood at their
front doors to raise a thunder of gratitude for those working on the front line
during COVID-19. Along with hashtags trending on social media, clapping hands
was one of the ways we collectively showed our respect for NHS workers, care
workers, pharmacists and supermarket staff. If you have had the chance to read
my previous blog posts you will have been introduced to four queens, close to
my heart, who have transformed a bad situation into one with a silver lining.
Lucky for you I have saved the best queen until last!
My sister,
Claire Ramage has been fighting on the front line throughout COVID-19 and I
could not be a prouder little sister. Please join me in reading the story of
Claire Ramage, a nurse like many others who dedicates her life every day to
saving others. And Claire if your reading, this is a one-off show of affection,
so don’t get used to it!
Luckily
enough having not listened to those who told her she couldn’t be a nurse;
Claire secured a place at the University of Glasgow to study nursing. While
attending university Claire travelled to Malawi, living there for 4 months,
treating and educating locals on health care issues. As she returned home,
Claire graduated with a 2:1 degree and secured her first nursing job at Glasgow
Royal Infirmary. All Claire’s friends and family were extremely proud of her
achievements, although for Claire this was only the beginning.
Striving for more Claire returned to university, this time in Dundee to study medicine. After completing her first two years of medicine and proceeding into 3rd year, COVID 19 hit. University was put on hold and Claire returned to the front line, as a nurse, at home here in Glasgow. In times of crisis humans often go into automatic behaviours and we complete what needs to be done. This is the easiest way I can explain how Claire tackled fighting on the front line without giving up. I will forever be proud of all Claire has achieved and I can’t wait for what her future holds.
