Twenty years ago this month I went for an interview NHS Fife. It’s been one hell of a journey. So many adventures and experiences (and a pandemic), patients and staff. It’s time for a new journey as Head of Service (Spiritual Care & Bereavement Services) with NHS Lothian.

The launch of our 3rd AHPDementia report! A day of looking back & looking ahead with colleagues who have become friends along the way. Proud of all we have achieved and privileged to have been part of the story. Throwback pic from Oct 2017 (I know, I haven’t aged a day 🤪🫣)

Recognising the importance of assessing spiritual needs for those receiving palliative care.

Delighted to have been asked to contribute to NES Bereavement Podcast series.

19 years ago this month l first came through these doors - today was the last time as a member of staff. So many memories, so many people, so much learning - it really is the end of a chapter.

Working in the NHS we know life is short, some days, death is ‘all around’, whether expected or sudden. In spiritual care services, in the NHS in Scotland, professional health care chaplains support patients/families & staff in loss & grief, reminding them love never dies 😌
