In the Footsteps of Hadrian

Colleagues in speech and language therapy, dietetics, psychology and community nursing received a special award at this year’s Royal Garden Party at the Palace of Holyroodhouse. They were presented with a Duke of Edinburgh Diamond Award in recognition of a fundraising effort in memory of Specialist Learning Disabilities Dietitian, Pamela McIntosh who passed away last October.

Pamela was a member of a staff walking group but sadly ran out of time to walk Hadrian’s Wall. However, other members took up the challenge on her behalf and have raised more than £4,500 for Strathcarron Hospice, where, they say, Pamela was cared for with dignity.
