Colleagues of Patricia Burke, NHS Forth Valley lead haematology oncology nurse, have praised the work she carried out to organise a haematology study day in the Lecture Theatre at Forth Valley Royal Hospital. Around 100 people attended, both hospital and community staff, and feedback from evaluation forms was very positive.
Trisha worked extra hours before and after her shifts to ensure this day went well. She liaised with all the haematologists and found outside speakers who were willing to give their time to present talks in what as a very educational and informative meeting. She also involved the haematology secretaries to help with the practicalities of the day, such as attendance sheets and information packs.
Fellow nurses say they are keen she is recognised for her efforts.
