They have been amazing and have done a fantastic job assisting with projects during Alzheimer’s awareness week and the “What’s important to me” day.

It’s a very sad time I’m ward 55. Although the cake will help! A very big thank you to all the students who have worked so hard throughout the COVID pandemic. We wish them all the best of luck in their future careers.

A big shout out to all the volunteers at WGH for supplying us with ice lollies from Waitrose for patients and staff on this hot sunny day 🌞🌞 #wgh

Happy international nurse day to nurses near and far, from #WGHTeam55 too many to name, but very proud to be a nurse and working with you all. At times like just now, you have all pulled together and you are inspiration to everyone

@GeraldineMars11 @gillian_mcauley @profalexmcmahon @S4Maher One patient yesterday spoke to a few family members and when asked by the night staff how she was, she said she’d had a great day, it was magical seeing her family.

@GeraldineMars11 @gillian_mcauley @profalexmcmahon @S4Maher We tested our recycled iPad we had been given for virtual visiting. This has been a fantastic success. The husband of a patient, who has a diagnosis of dementia, informed me, it was “wonderful to see his wife again”. It is so good of you doing this.

Husband contacted me today to say: thanks for linking us up for Fece Video today. It was wonderful to see my wife again - it is so good of you to be doing this I can take this link anytime

With Covid19 and no visitation, we performed virtual visiting. Both husband and wife equally delighted at the opportunity to see each other. It made such a difference to the patients mood (consent obtained)#GeraldineMarsh
