Day Surgery were recently the grateful recipients of a bench funded by donations from our CHFT Charity. The bench is located just outside the main entrance to the Surgical Day Procedure Unit on South Drive at HRI.

The bench has now been dedicated with a plaque to former Theatre Orderly, Deborah Roche, who worked for the Trust for 20 years before her death in 2021. Deborah was the twin sister to Theatre Staff Nurse, Rebecca Roche.

Rebecca has been managing to find a bit of time during her breaks to visit the bench and to remember her sister. She said: "I'm really glad the bench has been dedicated to Deborah. It's recognition of her so that nobody forgets her. It's really important to me."
