Celebrating Retirement!

After an incredible 42 years of dedicated service to the NHS, pharmacy and procurement, Pamela Forbes is beginning a well-earned retirement.

Pamela’s career began in 1982 at Hazelton Laboratories in Harrogate before she joined the NHS in 1984 as a Student Pharmacy Technician at Harrogate General Hospital. Qualifying in 1986, she went on to build extensive experience across pharmacy services in Harrogate, York and Leeds.

In 2009, Pamela joined Leeds Teaching Hospitals as Lead Technician for ePrescribing, becoming part of the team responsible for introducing electronic medicines systems across the hospitals. She spent around ten years supporting this major period of change in hospital pharmacy.

Pamela then began her procurement journey, initially joining the regional team to cover maternity leave for the Homecare Lead. She quickly became an invaluable member of the team and went on to work in regional licensed medicines contracting before becoming Lead Category Manager for Licensed Medicines in 2023.

Throughout her career, Pamela has combined her clinical knowledge with commercial judgement, always keeping patient care and the needs of NHS services at the heart of what she does.

Her contribution was formally recognised in 2025 when she received the HCSA Lifetime Achievement Award. For once, Pamela was genuinely surprised, with the penny only dropping after her achievements had been read out. The look on her face was priceless.

For colleagues, Pamela has been knowledgeable, dependable and generous with her experience. She has also brought plenty of humour and friendship to the team, including some memorable team development activities. Some called it networking; others may remember an espresso martini or two!

Pamela leaves behind an impressive professional legacy and many colleagues who are grateful to have worked alongside her.

Thank you, Pamela, for 42 years of dedication, knowledge, support, humour and friendship. We hope retirement brings you plenty of time with family and friends, wonderful holidays, new adventures and far fewer action plans.

You will be greatly missed. Congratulations on your retirement, Pamela, with very best wishes from us all.

Shared by Lead Clinician Andy Lowey -

"HM Lord Lieutenant’s Award for Warrant Officer Class 2 Peter Wedgwood:

It was an absolute privilege to be invited to attend the Huddersfield Barracks of the 4th Battalion, The Yorkshire Regiment on the 10th September 2026 to witness Pete
Wedgwood receive an award from His Majesty’s Lord Lieutenant of Yorkshire,
Professor Adeeba Malik CBE.

The Lord Lieutenant’s Award is the highest honour that can be awarded, short of the
King’s Full Honours List such as CBE and OBE. One of only 15 or so recipients across all of the armed services and cadet forces in Yorkshire, WO2 Wedgwood was required to stand to attention while his list of achievements and commendations were read out by the Vice Chair of the Reserve Forces and Cadet’s Association (RFCA).

Pete then received thanks from Professor Malik for more than 25 years of service,
which have included tours of Afghanistan and Iraq with 212 Field Hospital. As well as
a range of leadership duties focussing on the training, welfare and discipline (including appraisals!) of soldiers in his unit, Pete also competed in two military competitions with his unit in 2025/26, achieving a superb Silver medal finish against both regular and reserve forces in the gruelling 60km Cambrian Patrol event in the Brecon Beacons, Wales.

It was obvious to me from talking to his Commanding Officers and
fellow soldiers that Pete is highly valued and respected in the unit. The Commanding
Officer of the 4th Battalion (4 R YORKS), Lieutenant Ken Neilson, closed the evening
by paying tribute to the families of the award winners for the support they have given
over many years (Clancy!) as well as thanking employers for their support. Leeds
Teaching Hospitals holds the MoD’s Defence Employer Recognition Scheme (ERS) Gold Award for its support for the armed forces community, allowing Pete and others vital time away from work to maintain operational readiness (including some climbing and mountain biking from what Pete says….!).

Bringing things right up to date, Pete is just back from more excellent work with his unit 214 Multi-role Medical Regiment in Kenya, where the unit has been setting up temporary medical treatment facilities and providing vital healthcare in association with the Charitable Sector to the local population.

I am sure you will feel as proud of Pete and Clancy as I am. Thank you for allowing me to share the experience with you both and congratulations once again on this very prestigious award."
