AFTER 29 years of caring for others, district nursing auxiliary Kath Johnson found herself at the centre of a ttention, when her Whaliey colleagues threw a retirement party for her. Mrs Johnson, 54, who


received several gifts and bouquets from workmates, was based a t Whaliey Medical Centre, where she worked alongside the dis­ trict nurses for 18 years. She began her nursing


career at Brockhall Hospi­ tal and then spent a period a t Whiteacre Boarding School as a nursing assis­ tant in the sick bay. After the party, Chris
