Chairman Bill Parker Endorses the Fellowship of Member Bill McCloskey FIDiagE

摘要

Last month the Institute of Diagnostic Engineering endorsed Fellow membership on a member with a very unique story to tell. Bill McCloskey worked in the construction engineering industry for 38 years but he continued to work as a 'fixer' in his local community, spearheading a huge campaign that would draw on all of his skills. A fter travelling the world with his trade, Bill settled in Milton Keynes before retiring in 1996, aged 65. He was diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease and was soon campaigning for a dedicated Parkinson's nurse in his home town. The battle lasted a year and Bill became a local celebrity, but he admits that it was one of his toughest assignments, which is quite something for a man who gave five years to the Ministry of Defence.
