The Western Health and Social Care Trust (WHSCT) are to hold a minute's silence in memory of colleague Nuala McLaughlin, to mark one month since their highly valued team member and friend passed away from Covid-19.

"Nuala was a highly valued member of our team and, more importantly, our friend and to honour her memory one month on, Nuala’s close colleagues within our Women's and Children’s Directorate invite everyone to share 1 Minute of Silence this Friday 22 January at 3pm," the Trust said on a post on social media.

"This will be a 1 minute Silence in memory of staff member, Nuala McLaughlin, and as a mark of respect to all staff and families who have lost loved ones to Covid-19 and other illnesses in the past year and who all continue to be in our thoughts.

"We also offer our thoughts and best wishes for all our Western Trust staff who continue to care for so many in these very difficult times and ask you all to take this moment of silence to share your own kind and loving thoughts with us."

As part of their tribute the Trust have changed their Profile Image and have if other would like to do the same for the next 24 hours, they would be deeply honoured.
