Rebecca has shown dedication and hard work above and beyond expectations, demonstrating all the Trust values whilst working closely with a patient on ward 26.

The patient had been with us for over 60 days, and this, along with a series of complex surgeries, meant they were having a bit of a difficult time. Throughout their journey, Rebecca showed great empathy and fantastic skills in motivating and engaging the patient in activities.

Rebecca regularly took time to listen to the patient, which was especially valuable when they were facing communication difficulties due to a tracheostomy. The patient consistently responded to the positive impact Rebecca has on their care.

Rebecca recognised the patient's frustration and low mood, responding by facilitating regular time away from the unit, outside and to the therapy garden. Rebecca has also been a great advocate for the patient and actively involved herself in ongoing care plans and discharge planning, considering all the patient's wishes.

"What's remarkable and outstanding is Rebecca's ability to go above and beyond during times of staff shortages and changes. You are a star... thank you."
