After an incredible 31 years at the Freeman Hospital, our wonderful Jacqui Laydon will be retiring this April.
Jacqui has dedicated her career to caring for heart families, spending 10 years in PICU before moving into her role as a Cardiac Nurse Specialist, where she has supported children and families throughout their heart journeys for the past 21 years. So many of our families will know first-hand just how special she is.
We would love to invite parents and families to join us in saying goodbye and celebrating Jacqui’s amazing career.
📅 Monday 13th April
🕚 11:00am – 1:00pm
📍 Scott House, Freeman Hospital
There will be cake (homemade by our lovely team!) and refreshments, and most importantly, a chance to share memories, stories and well wishes with Jacqui as she begins her well-earned retirement.
If you’ve been supported by Jacqui over the years, we would love to see you there as we come together to thank her for everything she has done for heart families.
For hearts, for families, for life ❤️
