Bøker av Kairen Griffiths

Whilst the world was in 'lockdown' due to the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, NHS key workers continued to work relentlessly, both caring for those affected by this deadly virus and endeavouring to protect us from catching it. In this book, NHS Grampian healthcare workers recount their memories from this unprecedented time. Talking to former nurse, Kairen Griffiths, NHS healthcare workers from all disciplines document this historic period by sharing their pandemic accounts. From a porter and domestic, through to a consultant and senior medical practitioners, these extraordinary stories tell of commitment and care in the face of uncertainty and individual emotional challenges. The result is a book of poignant, uplifting and powerful stories that are full of emotion, honesty and resilience. The COVID-19 pandemic has undoubtedly taken its toll on huge swathes of the population, but this book recognised the enormous contribution of our healthcare workers over the last few years.

Kairen Griffiths has recently retired from working as a Cystic Fibrosis Nurse in the north-east of Scotland for the last 26 years. The patients, families and colleagues with whom she worked alongside over those years left a significant and lasting impression on her. The stories recounted in this book are both heart-warming and heart-rending and will appeal to anyone with an interest in this complex and challenging condition.
