St Joseph’s Day, March 19th, was an opportunity for reflection on the past year’s hard work and for celebration of achievement and service to the community. Particular dedication was represented by the members of staff receiving long service awards for 10, 15, 20 and 30 years at St Joseph’s. A total of 290 years was marked in these awards.
Events throughout the day looked back to our roots and our history, considered the present and its particular challenges: to provide the best standards of care; to reach out and support our patients and their families, other organisations delivering end of life care and the wider community in which we are based.
The future brings change in the world generally, and in our part of London. New communities move in with their own customs and beliefs around death and dying – we need to know what these are and we need to empathise with them. New drugs, skills and therapies are emerging – we need to continue to develop our knowledge and skills so that our patients get the best care possible. There is new interest from the Government and others in end of life care – we need to be clear what our response will be, so that we can make the most of any opportunities for the benefit of our patients.
St Joseph’s is dedicated to providing the best possible care for the people of East and North East London. |
