CF nurse specialist of 25 years is UHNM Hero

Dedicated cystic fibrosis (CF) nurse specialist Siobhan Davies has been given a UHNM Hero award by the parent of a patient. Siobhan has worked with CF patients at UHNM for more than 25 years and has been described as a “matriarch” whose “passion and determination left no one behind”.

Siobhan said: “I am overwhelmed to receive this award, it is a real privilege. My time at UHNM has been very rewarding and I have learned so much here. We have had a huge impact on many families and have been supported by the hospital throughout.”

Erin Hodgetts, CF coordinator, (pictured with Siobhan) said: “Siobhan is an amazing person who has worked so hard with patients and families, the work she has carried out is absolutely fantastic.”

Siobhan has now retired but will continue to work with bereaved families at UHNM.

Reverend Chris Wright, Head Chaplain, (pictured with Siobhan), said: “Siobhan is an incredible member of staff and I am so grateful for her. She goes the extra mile all the time, oozes compassion and is such a great colleague.”
