This award is an opportunity for patients, families, visitors, and Trust colleagues to say ‘thank you – you made a difference’ to a member of staff or a team for anything (however small!) that helped make their experience of our services better.
We're delighted to announce that our joint July ‘Shine a Light’ winners are:

Jan Wilkins supports families who have children with complex palliative care needs, or who have experienced often very complex or traumatic bereavements. Susan Sadek nominated Jan for the way she supports with compassion and humanity. One of the families commented "The pain and sadness at times has been overwhelming, scary and debilitating. I wouldn’t have even known how to begin to deal with these feelings or navigated through them without this support".
