The Princess Campbell Office opens

Offices at Southmead Hospital have been named in recognition of the tremendous contributions to healthcare services and to racial justice by Nurse Princess Campbell, the City’s first Black nursing sister.  'Princess Campbell, who died in 2015, came to England from the Caribbean after World War II in response to the call to help rebuild the nation from all that it had endured during the long war’, explains Lord-Lieutenant Mrs Peaches Golding OBE in her speech to the socially distanced gathering. Deputy Mayor Cllr Asher Craig also spoke about the importance of naming the office at the start of Black History Month.  A plaque to commemorate the opening of the office was unveiled by Dennis Campbell, the son of Princess Campbell. Also in attendance were Sandra Gordon and Annette Hughes the Chair of NBT’s BAME Staff Network. The group of civic dignitaries and the Chief Executive of North Bristol NHS Trust met members of the hospital’s BAME network and learned of their many initiatives spanning from creative arts to workplace practices.
