                    Took ill health retirement at the age of 58 last week after being a paramedic for 26 years and being in the ambulance service for 32 years.

                    I loved the job until I started suffering with PTSD a few yeas ago, but by the time I left I was glad to finish. It felt like a weight has been lifted since I decided to end my career and intend to spend the rest of my time doing what interests me.

                    I may do some voluntary work or part time work but at the moment I’m in no rush to do anything.

                              Keep this thread going guys. I retire next June, I’m on 12 months notice, so it’ll be a long haul. My replacement will be announced on Thursday & takeover in January, so I’ll be on wind down from then. I’m going to struggle to make the transition but i guess that’s a well trodden path for many.

                              P.s. what’s a hoover?
