A WHOLE “family of NHS heroes” from Coatbridge starred in an emotional episode of The Repair Shop this week.nurse for 38 years and recently retired from his job as a Glasgow Caledonian University lecturer, wanted to see if the show’s experts could return an old oak desk to its former glory.
“That desk is where I sat when I studied for my final-year nursing exams, and then, as the family grew, my kids Fiona and Lewis used it for their homework, and Kate has used it for studying too. The desk was my classroom all through COVID-19 and I always used it for marking.“We are so immensely proud of what Fiona does and we really wanted her to have the desk and to keep that NHS tradition going. The desk will be there to witness her journey just like it’s been with us through our journey.
Will said: “They were one of my favourite families – they were so proud of Fiona. It was an utter pleasure to help transform the desk for them – especially because of the special meaning behind it.”Bill and his family say they don’t see themselves as NHS heroes, however. “To get the chance to work in the NHS for us was such an honour and a privilege, so being able to celebrate the 75th anniversary with the BBC Repair Shop team has really been a very special experience for us. The entire Repair Shop team have been absolutely brilliant and we can’t thank them enough.”
