Marcia Perry, Director of Nursing and Therapies, commented: “I’ve been extremely proud to be the chief of nursing and therapies here through the pandemic and to see the unique role and contribution that every member of Team BCHC has made.
“In particular, I pay tribute to the contribution of our nursing family, which makes up the largest proportion of our workforce.
“Through this time, many members of that ‘family’ have worked with me and the team to develop this, our first professional nursing strategy, and to develop the five ambitions we will deliver over the next three years, which focus on providing safe, high quality care, with patient experience at the heart of everything we do.”
