A tribute to Michelle Hart
It’s with deep sadness we announce that University Hospitals of Derby and Burton has lost a much loved colleague to Covid-19.
Michelle Hart, Receptionist on Ward 408 at Royal Derby Hospital, sadly passed away on Friday (29 January 2021). Michelle had worked at the Trust for nearly two decades. Michelle joined the team on the original Ward 4 at Derby Royal Infirmary in 2007 before moving with the ward to the new Cardiology Ward 408.
Gavin Boyle, Chief Executive, said: “Michelle was very bubbly, very lovely. She was always chatty, always helpful and always had a smile. Michelle’s role was to meet and welcome relatives to the ward, as well as supporting the team to stay organised. Colleagues say she was especially good at keeping the doctors and nursing team organised.
“Away from work Michelle was very family and friends orientated. Her family and friends meant a lot to her and there will be a huge number of friends who will remember Michelle with great fondness. Our thoughts are with Michelle’s family at this time and I would like to offer our sincere condolences to them on behalf of everyone at UHDB.”
