A nurse has decided to sacrifice her retirement plans and continue helping families who have lost loved ones to the coronavirus.
Senior nurse Suzanne Lomax has worked at the Royal Bolton Hospital for the past 35 years and was set to take on a part time role with a view to retiring.
But instead, she will continue her work full time for another three months. “It feels the right thing to do, to support the families and my team," she explained.
Staff supporting bereaved families have one of the most difficult jobs in the hospital and have been put under greater pressure by the pandemic, according to Suzanne.
