Professor Angela Wallace, Executive Director of Nursing for NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde, said: “Hilary and Deirdre embody the compassion, expertise and unwavering commitment that sit at the heart of nursing, midwifery and public protection in NHSGGC. Their MBEs recognise not only their personal dedication, but the collective efforts of the teams around them – from the Blossom Team’s trauma‑informed, person‑centred care to the Public Protection Service’s multi‑agency safeguarding across our communities. On behalf of NHSGGC, I offer my warmest congratulations and heartfelt thanks to them and their colleagues for the difference they make every single day.”![]()
