NHS University Hospitals of Liverpool Group’s Post

Congratulations to Shaun Murney, who is our Employee of the Month. 🤩 Shaun, a healthcare assistant in our Emergency Department at the Royal Liverpool University Hospital, was nominated for enabling an end-of-life patient to have his final wish of seeing his only daughter on her wedding day. Whilst caring for the gentlemen who was too ill to attend his daughter’s wedding, Shaun organised a blessing in the hospital chapel, inviting the priest from Liverpool Cathedral, and helping the patient to get smartly dressed to witness his daughter walk down the aisle and have a blessing by the priest. The nomination read: “Without Shaun going to so much effort this would not have been possible. Shaun demonstrates a strong work ethic and always goes above and beyond in his role, working extremely hard to maintain a safe emergency department. He is always willing to support patients and staff in need and we are very lucky to work with such a dedicated and kind person.” Our judges said: “Well done for going above and beyond! This is such a beautiful nomination and what Shaun achieved for the family is immeasurable. This is a real showcase of compassionate and empathetic care - well done Shaun and thank you!” “Well done Shaun for acting outside your role to go above and beyond in such emotional circumstances! This is a powerful nomination and Shaun's compassion allowed this patient his dying wish - thank you Shaun, a fantastic thing to do.” 👏 💙
