Anne has been such a special part of so many of your journey’s here at the hospital. And after 14 amazing years, she is retiring! 🥰

Anne has been a vital part of the accommodation that we are able to provide families who are inpatients here in both the Bristol Royal Hospital for Children and NICU in St Michael’s. We want to say a huge thank you for your commitment and care – it has been unparalleled! 💙

Wishing you all the best in your retirement!

For 14 incredible years, Anne has been the friendly face welcoming families through our doors. She has supported countless families during their most difficult times, always with kindness and care. 🥰

Along the way, she helped develop our family accommodation service into what it is today: Cots for Tots House, Paul’s House, and Grand Appeal House. She has worked closely with both St Michael’s Neonatal Intensive Care Unit and Bristol Children’s Hospital, providing a lifeline for families when they needed it most. 🏠

Many of you will know just how special Anne is. We hope you’ll join us in thanking her for the dedication she’s shown every single day. Anne, you will be a tough act to follow! We wish you all the very best in your retirement. 💙👏

Anyone can become unwell when the weather is hot, but some are at higher risk than others ☀

Look out for older people, people with long-term health conditions and young children who may find it more difficult to stay cool and hydrated in hot weather.
