"Helen is a ward manager. In order to minimise the risk of her work in a hospital on her family she is not seeing her two daughters or her two gorgeous 3 year old grand daughters and she’s finding it really hard. She’s loved by colleagues, friends, family and patients alike. She’ll always do anything for anyone she can. I’ve known her for 20+ years and she’s just one of life’s gems."
