  • Heather Chitty
    51 years of service! 14 December 2021 Congratulations to Heather Chitty who has just retired after 51 years of service to our health service. Heather started at SCGH in 1970, then studied midwifery in NSW before returning to Charlies to work in the coronary care unit (CCU). After more training in coronary care she was promoted to Charge Nurse of the CCU at SCGH in 1977. Heather went on to work as a clinical instructor for the student nurse program and joined the Army Reserve as a Nursing Officer, continuing to work with them right up until she retired as a Major in 2017. Heather played a significant role in the CCU, in particular the transfer of the old unit into the brand-new location in G Block. Continuing her education at WAIT, receiving a WK Kellogg Fellowship to study at the Strong Memorial Hospital in Rochester, NY and finishing her studies with a Masters, Heather proves that you are never too far in your career to b...
