HFNs show that they are simply marvellous

Heart Failure Nurses (HFN) Sue Collinson, Linda Marsh and Ros Burrell from the HFN/ Cardiac Rehabilitation Team at RSH have won a ‘You’re Simply Marvellous Award’ for their exceptional quality of care and treatment with a patient nominating them for the title.

The nomination said: “My husband and I would like to nominate his HFNs Ros, Sue and Linda. They have brought him back from the absolute brink in the last 18 months and introduced him slowly but surely to his medication.

“We would like to thank them for their patience, care, knowledge, for their positivity and for being there for us through this frightening time. Thank you ladies from the bottom of our hearts. There are some nurses in A&E and ICU at the RSH that saved his life but I’m sorry to say he was too ill to remember their names. NHS at its best!”

The team said: “We were gobsmacked. You go along just doing your job and then you receive an award like this out of the blue – it is so nice to be recognised. The letter is gorgeous and the comments lovely.”

Sponsored by the Pumping Marvellous Foundation, the five “You’re Simply Marvellous” awards acknowledge the value that Health Care Professionals bring to the treatment of Heart Failure, improving patient outcomes.

Well done ladies!

PRH’s Catering Team’s fantastic support for Macmillan

The PRH Catering Team has raised an incredible £350 for Macmillan Cancer Support.

They decided not to send Christmas cards and instead donated the cash.

Pictured is Ella Sadd, Macmillan Cancer Support Assistant Manager, collecting the cheque from the team.

This donation is very gratefully received and helps continue to offer much needed support to people affected by cancer.

A team of three Inflammatory Bowel Disease Clinical Nurse Specialists took part in the ‘Big Winter Workout’ to raise funds for Crohn’s and Colitis UK.

Michelle Gadsden, Sally Edwards and Emily Roberts had to exercise for at least 31 minutes each day for the 31 days of January.

They took part in gym classes, home workouts, running, cycling and walking.

During the month they complet- ed a magnificent 4,081 minutes and raised £580.

It’s fantastic work from the three, who are pictured left to right: Michelle, Sally and Emily
