SaTH is hoping to bring a little cheer to those who find themselves in hospital this Christmas.
Director of Corporate Governance Julia Clarke with Ian Stuart
Ian Stuart, from SaTH’s catering team, has been working on a project to make Christmas Day lunch special for those who find themselves at the Royal Shrewsbury Hospital or Princess Royal Hospital in Telford. Ian has been able to secure charitable funds through the Trust, which means that SaTH is able to offer a more exclusive range of Christmas crackers and napkins, along with a slice of Christmas cake and a healthy fruit juice drink for patients this year.
Ian said: “No one wants to spend their Christmas in hospital, so I wanted to do something to try and cheer patients up a little bit while they are here. I thought I would try and make Christmas Day lunch a bit of a treat with a few little extras for our patients.”
Nick Parkin, SaTH’s Senior Catering Manager, said: “Ian’s continued commitment to patient wellbeing is fantastic, and he has worked extremely hard to bring this about. He is always trying to find ways to improve the experience of both patients and visitors alike – and this will hopefully enhance the experience for those that find themselves in hospital over the festive period.”
The catering team will also be serving up breakfast baps for all Trust staff who are working on Christmas Day. This is in conjunction with SaTH’s wellbeing team and is a thank you for their hard work.
