MP Maria Miller visited St Michael’s Hospice to catch up on developments. Maria met with CEO Iain Cameron and Jemma Storrar Medical Director.
Maria commented;
“ I was very struck by the way St Michaels’ Hospice reached out to work in such a collaborative way with our Hospital during a time of intense pressure on the NHS. Their expertise in palliative care and bereavement counselling is apparent and they adapted this invaluable experience to help during the pandemic. Iain and Jemma also discussed the dedication of staff who worked tirelessly to support patients and their families. An amazing team of volunteers also came forward to help and it is heartening to note that they have continued to support the hospice and their work.”
“The pandemic forced many of us to rethink the way we live our lives and it is striking that the Basingstoke community gave much of their time to support others and continue to do so. ”
