Shirley Bugler (L&D)

Well done to Shirley Bugler (Paediatric Ward 24) for being 1st runner-up!

Family/visitor: “Shirley is a star. At the beginning of the shift, Shirley reassured me by telling me “you’ll be okay mum, I am here with you all day”.

“My sick baby was refusing the bottle and being fed through an NG tube. Shirley was a ray of sunshine for me, so colourful and involved, this made me feel better; she gave me light and hope. She gave my baby his first bottle with love and he took it. Shirley reassured me that all will be okay and encouraged me. The third bottle I gave to my baby with Shirley behind me giving me the confidence to do it. I got the confidence all because of Shirley.”

Exceptional demand at Bedford Hospital

Due to exceptional demand, Bedford Hospital is currently restricting visitation to one healthy person per day, ideally wearing a mask for closed wards or bays. The rest of the hospital can still have two visitors. Masks are available in all ward areas, and we kindly encourage you to wear a mask when visiting. Thank you for your kind co-operation.

Patients with appointments at the hospital should continue to attend, unless told otherwise. Please only attend A&E if urgent and emergency care is required.
