High Sheriff full of praise for Severn Hospice after tour of Shrewsbury site
The county’s High Sheriff has praised staff and volunteers at Severn Hospice after visiting to see how they work together first hand.
High Sheriff Mandy Thorn MBE, DL has extensive experience in the care sector and was invited to Severn Hospice's Bicton Heath site in Shrewsbury, to see for herself the difference its daily care makes.
Praising the charity, which is a centre for excellence in palliative care, the High Sheriff said: “As soon as you approach the hospice it oozes care and compassion and is an envelope of tranquillity. It was so special meeting families and patients and it really brought home what an incredible place this really is.
"It is an exceptional charity supporting so many people across the whole county and it was a privilege to be given such a fascinating insight into the daily activities and future plans.”
With a tour of the ward and the charity’s community services centre, the High Sheriff met patients and saw how the hospice provides a wide range of medical, emotional and spiritual care, all aimed at supporting patients to live as well and independently as they can.
