Festival 2024

Remembering...

Organised by Inverclyde Royal Hospital Spiritual Care Department

1-7 November

Dining Room on Level B, Inverclyde Royal Hospital, Greenock

This activity is for Inverclyde Royal Hospital staff.

Following an information event held in Demystifying Death Week (around the Bereavement Charter Mark), during Absent Friends Week, in November, Inverclyde Royal Hospital are providing an information stall of what support and resources are in place for bereaved staff. 

We are also seeking feedback as to how well staff have been supported during a personal bereavement. These resources will include links to wider bereavement organisations in our area, as well as within the NHS. There will be space for staff to relax, and be creative with words, art, or to read or write poetry. Just because NHS staff work in an organisation where death and bereavement may be experienced more often, it does not mean staff are not affected by this in their own lives. This event will give staff time to just be and remember loved ones, friends, colleagues, and maybe even share some stories with each other.  

This event is supported by a To Absent Friends small grant.
