Stamford nurse shares her experiences at Sue Ryder Thorpe Hall Hospice in Peterborough during the coronavirus pandemic

Stamford nurse Susan Shackleton was appointed as the head of clinical services at Sue Ryder Thorpe Hall Hospice in February.

Her appointment came just after the hospice, which is based in Peterborough but provides end of life care for patients from across Stamford, Bourne and Rutland, was rated as outstanding by the Care Quality Commission.

But just one month later the coronavirus pandemic swept in and changed the way the hospice worked.
