Sarah Edwards is one of our Inpatient Unit Clinical Nurses in Ipswich. She has worked at the hospice for over 6 years.
“I have been working at the hospice for six years now but previous to that I had more than 30 years of experience specialising in haematology and oncology at Ipswich Hospital as well as working as a ward matron at the hospital,” explains Sarah.
“I have always regarded palliative care as an extremely important and special area to work in and I continue to feel very privileged to do so. Many people have said it must be very sad to work at the hospice, which it can be, but it is also the most uplifting and positive place that I have ever worked.
“Working at the hospice is often challenging but incredibly rewarding. To be able to make a difference to the lives of patients and families during an enormously stressful and intimate time in their lives, gives nurses back much more than they put into the job.”
