Sad passing of Daseth Gregory

September 9, 2021

On Wednesday 25 August, a very dear colleague Daseth Gregory sadly passed away.

Daseth Gregory, Clinical Lead Podiatrist in the foot health team worked as a podiatrist for 38 years before retiring in 2017.

During her long distinguished service Daseth epitomised the Trust values not only in terms of the care that she provided to the patients  but to all staff  she came into contact with. Her ever present smiling face and calm, gentle, encouraging tone welcomed and nurtured colleagues embarking on their careers at SWB, providing guidance and a confidential ear to encourage us to be the best in all we do and the services we deliver.

Daseth took pride in the Trust and wanted nothing more than the service she led to be the best in it’s field pushing the boundaries for developments. During her time within the Trust Daseth saw much change and was instrumental in making change, developing services and taking her colleagues gently along that journey. Respected and loved by all her patients, particularly the children, Daseth then went on to become a clinical lead for the foot health team in MSK and governance, championing quality and care for our patients before retiring in 2017 to spend time with her husband and family .

Daseth was proud to be part of the SWB family and her passing leaves us all saddened but our lives all the more enriched through knowing her
