Star of the Week – Reena Patel

June 15, 2020

Star of the Week goes to Staff Nurse, Reena Patel who has been commended for her work in supporting patients to stay in touch with loved ones thousands of miles away.

Nominating Reena for the award, Clinical Education Sister, Hayley Griffiths wrote, “A nursing colleague I trained with 15 years ago contacted me last week to say her mom had been a patient on Lyndon 4 for the last five weeks. Her mom had her mobile phone but wasnt able to facetime her daughter who lives in Sydney Australia. With the current outbreak I was unable to go to Lyndon 4 but I contacted Staff Nurse, Reena Patel who agreed she would help. Reena took the reins and in no time at all had shown mom videos of well wishes from her daughter and grandchildren. Reena has also managed to setup video calling so they can get in touch with each other whenever they want to.

“Reena truly went the extra mile in helping this family stay in touch at a very difficult time.”
