Nurse Who Changed NHS for 55 Years | Glasgow News

After 55 incredible years in the NHS, Savitri Cameron is hanging up her stethoscope — but not before leaving an indelible mark. Arriving in the UK in 1971 from Mauritius, she rose from barefoot childhood poverty to become a trailblazing nurse, midwife, and health visitor with a mountain of qualifications. From Glasgow to West Yorkshire, she pioneered support groups and transfusion units, and during the pandemic, she worked weekends, administered thousands of vaccines, and donated her extra earnings to charity. Colleagues hail her as compassionate, relentless, and inspirational — a true force for change. Though bittersweet to leave a career she loved, she’s retiring on a high note, ready for travel with her husband, proud of the progress she witnessed, and passionate about encouraging others to join nursing.
