We’ve reopened our Frailty Unit at King George Hospital to provide patients with fast access to medical teams specialising in caring for older or frail people.

Lots of our staff took on different roles to support our colleagues and patients during the Covid-19 pandemic, and for Sophie Broyd, usually a pathway coordinator in our Pathology team, it meant she got to indulge her interest working in our Mortuary.

We held a special event yesterday (Monday 13 July) as an opportunity for our Chief Nurse and Deputy Chief Executive, Kathryn Halford, to thank our Helping Hands team.

As the Covid-19 pandemic hit, Kit’s role at our Trust changed drastically, and she reflects on her experiences.

During this pandemic, it’s been more important than ever to take note of the positives, such as how Marie Hillyard, a practice development nurse at our Trust, has used it as an opportunity for people to get to know members of our Emergency Department (ED) team better.
