Tribute

Teal In a tribute to the late Sheridan Christine Teal, GILL HAWKSWORTH writes:

It was with great sadness that I heard that my friend and colleague Sheridan Teal had passed away peacefully on Mother’s Day. She had endured illness with great bravery and dignity for 15 years.

Sheridan was the longest serving pharmaceutical adviser, and the hub of pharmaceutical activity for many years, in the Calderdale and Kirklees area. A substantial number of those years included the period of her illness and, true to character, unselfishly she always put her duty before herself.

Many of the local pharmacy service developments were only possible because of her foresight and determination, still benefiting patients today as enhanced services.

I would like to pay tribute to her professionalism, integrity, generosity and genuine care for everything she did and everyone she worked with, always smiling through her adversity. She was an inspiration and role model for every pharmacist, loved and admired, not only by her colleagues, but all the other health care professionals her work brought her into contact with.

She and I started out on our careers together as preregistration students and I had the great honour at her 25 years NHS presentation recently to share some of those memories with Sheridan and her family and the many close friends and colleagues, who came in great numbers. This was only to be expected, an exhibition of the great respect in which Sheridan was held both locally and nationally.

She will be greatly missed by all who knew her and I know that all of us count it as an immense privilege to have served alongside this gifted and wonderful pharmacist.

Our thoughts are with her family, Andrew, Jennifer and Christopher, at this time.
