COVID-19 memorial service

On Tuesday 4 May, we held a memorial service for our people.

It was an opportunity for us to come together and pause to remember and honour family members, colleagues and friends who have sadly lost their lives over the past year during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The service included a minute of silence and contributions from our people and representatives of different faith communities.

We were deeply saddened by the loss of our colleagues in the last year.

We lost Lynsay Coventry, midwife, Saima Bilgrami, healthcare assistant and Barclay Mason, senior ED nurse, to COVID-19.

We paused to reflect on our memories of all of our colleagues who have passed away in the last year at the Our Amazing People Awards, held in September. The people we recognised have now been joined by others who have passed since September. Together they are:

Mary Bio, service manager

Rachel Carey, clerical officer

Peter Edwards, maintenance assistant

Deyaa Elsandabesee, consultant

Lyn Horne, office supervisor, cellular pathology

Linda Jackson, domestic ward orderly

Sarah Simcox, cardiac technician

Robert Parmenter, ward clerk

Norma Trendell, domestic ward orderly

Mary Winfield, healthcare assistant

Our thoughts remain with their family and friends. You can watch the recorded service via our YouTube playlist www. youtube.com/pahcomms or please email paht.
