Britain's oldest and longest-serving nurse, 86, finally hangs up her scrubs 66 years after joining the NHS (but admits she preferred her old uniforms because they were more 'glamorous')


Britain's oldest and longest-serving nurse has finally hung up her scrubs after 66 years working for the NHS.

Monica Bulman, 86, from Torquay in Devon, started walking the wards in 1952 aged 19, four years after the NHS was formed.

She qualified as a registered nurse five years later and has dedicated her life to treating tens of thousands of patients.
