One of the main eHealth trainers for a number of systems, including TrakCare, has retired from the organisation and is looking forward to working in two different specialist areas – gardening and crafts.
Margaret McKechnie started her career in the NHS as a student nurse in 1976 and worked in ENT and Ophthalmology at Falkirk and District Royal Infirmary before retraining as a midwife. She worked in the Special Care Baby Unit before taking a career break to raise her family.
After attending a Women’s Technology Course in 1999, Margaret re-joined the NHS in 2001 as part of the PiMs team, initially based at RSNH, before that team became part of the newly formed eHealth Programme Office. Margaret was the main eHealth trainer for a number of systems including PiMs, FACE/CarePartner, Topas, MiDIS and latterly TrakCare.
Colleagues presented her with vouchers to follow her two ‘retirement passions’.
