Tammy Bowen, Senior Sister, said: “We are very grateful that charitable donations have enabled us to make improvements to the relatives’ room in the ICU. 

“The relatives room provides a private, comforting space for families to spend time together away from the clinical environment. It offers a place to rest, reflect, and support one another during what can often be a challenging and emotional time.
