​Looking Back: Another busy day at PCH

In 2015 I photographed the staff hard at work in the very busy PCH oncology day unit.

​ My wife Lesley, who died in October 2022, received excellent care there for several years and Sarah Sheppard, a lead community cancer nurse, is seen taking blood and conveniently came to our home too.

My second image shows patient and nurses having fun at the wonderful Robert Horrell MacMillan Day Therapy Centre.

Lesley received complimentary aromatherapy there and went on to study it to become a practitioner herself, so that she could help other patients.

The photo mural at the outpatients department is dedicated to her and the amazing staff and you can see more images in my NHS book 'Just Be kind.'
