Patient Services Manager at West Herts Teaching Hospitals ๐The Patient Experience is so important to me and my wonderful team. Proud Mummy to my Boy Bobby ๐
Iโm honoured to have been asked to come and speak at these very important study mornings, until you lose a loved one you will never truly understand how important this is not only to the patient but also relatives as these moments will stay with them for the rest of there lives
In surgery for June we are working to improve End of Life Care. Today we had a fab study session with guest speakers from Patient Affairs, Pastoral Care, Mortuary, Palliative Care & Rose Volunteers. We also had a visit from our Chief Nurse today! Thanks to all for your help! ๐

The patient experience team at @WestHertsNHS need a book trolley to enable the volunteers to spread some cheer to our patients by offering them a book to read. ๐
Do you know a business who would like to give a pre-loved book trolley to a good home?
