Edna Chavannes – Windrush Champion

Recently We had the pleasure of handing a copy of ‘Windrush Pioneers and Champions’ to Edna Chavannes. Edna features in the book alongside many household names. It has been a privilege to make her story (45 years of service to the NHS following her arrival in the UK from Jamaica in 1951) more widely known. Without Edna and the thousands like her there would be no NHS. You can find out more about Edna on our Windrush Generation’ pages.
