Laura and Claire, Cedar Ward
The year of the nurse and midwife 2020 is the Year of the Nurse and Midwife. To celebrate, we sat down with some of our amazing clinical team, to find out a little bit more about them, and their life at the Hospice…
Laura & Claire Laura has worked at Boswall Road for four years. While it can at times be demanding (not least because of the 12 miles a day she can cover on the ward) she confidently says that it’s the best job she’s ever had! “The building, the people, the views, you couldn’t ask for a better environment for the patients, and that makes our job so much easier.” Fun Fact: Away from the Hospice, Laura is a keen baker, although she has a little bit less time for that now that she is studying

again in her new role as a Clinical Support Worker! Claire has been with us on the wards for 3 years, and, like Laura, thinks that this is the hardest, and yet most rewarding job she’s ever had. She recently took on one of the brand new Clinical Support Worker roles too and takes great pride in her work at the Hospice. Fun Fact: Claire is a twin and it runs in the family – both of her grandparents, and both of her parents are twins too!!

Lynsey, Kerry & Sharon Lynsey has been with us for 3 years, coming from a background of support work. She loves life at the Hospice, and says her team makes Pentland ward a special place to work! Fun Fact: Clocking up around 20,000 steps per shift clearly isn’t enough for fitness enthusiast Lynsey, who loves the gym and walking her pair of Shitzus (who also have their own Instagram account!)
