Nurse ‘amazed’ to meet Queen
23 November 2008
A NURSE at the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital has been granted an audience with the Queen at Buckingham Palace.
Macmillan nurse Emma Harris was invited to attend an evening reception with the Queen this week in recognition of her significant contribution to health. Emma has been a champion for the introduction at NNUH of the Liverpool Care Pathway for patients nearing the end of life.
Ms Harris said: “It was the most amazing experience to be at Buckingham Palace with the Queen and I just felt really proud to be representing the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital.
“In our palliative care role, dying well means something different for everyone but it generally includes maintaining dignity and autonomy, having choices and receiving appropriate pain relief, as well as emotional and spiritual support.”
