Just a quick post tonight.

It was Julie Donaldson’s funeral yesterday. Julie tragically died on our ICU a fortnight ago after contracting COVID-19. Julie’s husband, John has started a JustGiving page in order to raise money for the Intensive Care Unit. The money will be used to purchase iPads to allow relatives to communicate with their families and loved ones whilst they are being cared for in the ICU.

It’s the Children-in-Need fundraiser tonight. If any of you are already feeling in a charitable mood then I would urge you to support John’s fundraising efforts at:

Many thanks to John and everyone who donates.
