The Trustees and staff nominated Dr Helen Clayson for the award of bouquet of the week with the Evening Mail in recognition of her hard work and dedication to St Mary’s over the last 16 years. Many local people have benefited from Helen’s expertise and she has touched the lives of many local families in her work as medical director at St Mary’s Hospice. She left the organisation on the 28th March at a time when hands-on care of people with advanced illness in the hospice and in their own homes is going from strength to strength and St Mary’s now helps more than double the number of people they were caring for a few years ago due to the addition of the hospice at home service, which Dr Clayson and the team instigated.
All the staff and volunteers wanted to recognise publicly Dr Clayson’s contribution as she headed off into semi-retirement.
Jenny Stalker, Matron said “Helen has been a wonderful doctor, who has helped so many people over the years. She will be missed by us all.”
Zoe Guest, Funding & Operations Manager said “We all just wanted to say a big thank you to Helen for all her dedication to the charity and the empathy she has shown whilst dealing with hundreds of people and their families dealing with life-limiting conditions.”
