We're all shocked and saddened by the death of one of our much-loved healthcare assistants, Esther Egbon.

Tony Chambers, our Chief Executive, said: "We are shocked and saddened by the tragic death of Esther Egbon, a popular HCA at our trust.

"Esther was a much loved member of the team on Foxglove Ward at King George Hospital. Having previously worked at Sodexo, Esther joined her current team in 2018, becoming friends with all our colleagues.

"She will be remembered for her kind and caring nature. She was always smiling and was extremely hard working. 

"Our thoughts are with her family, especially her four young children, and friends at this time."
