When Professor Liz Hughes, a consultant at Sandwell Hospital, found herself an inpatient at the hospital, she decided to say thanks in her own way.
Liz, who has been with the Trust for 29 years, has donated £400 to the Critical Care Unit after undergoing emergency surgery in January 2018, which involved a two-week stay.
She said: “I came here because I wanted to be looked after by my colleagues. They took care of me fantastically and I appreciated all the support they gave me.”
Liz has donated the money to Sandwell and West Birmingham NHS Trust’s Your Trust Charity and it will go towards equipment that will make a difference to other patients in the unit, such as fans or televisions.
Matron Amber Markham said: “Thanks to Liz for her kind donation and it will go a long way towards making a patient’s stay more bearable.”
