So many of my colleagues are inspirational and this week I would like to put the spotlight on one of our volunteers Terry Seston who recently celebrated his 90th birthday and porter Lauren Clarke who took part in an internship project.

Both always have a smile on their faces and show such compassion in their roles, making a huge difference for our patients, visitors and their colleagues.   

Terry Seston has been a ‘meet and greet’ volunteer at Royal Shrewsbury Hospital (RSH) for about 15 years, welcoming patients and visitors when they arrive and supporting them whether it’s with directions or advice.

It is a year of celebrations for Terry, as Terry’s wife Babs who also volunteered at the Trust for many years is also turning 90 in May and they are planning a garden party for their 69th wedding anniversary in June.
