Sue was delighted to be awarded her MBE (for services to palliative care in Ethiopia) at Windsor Castle on 22nd July. Sue, along with 8 charity trustees and numerous volunteers, raises funds in the UK to support the work of the nurses working at Hospice Ethiopia. This is the only hospice in Ethiopia, which cares for people with life-limiting illnesses. In addition, Sue and her husband Jamie, a retired GP, assist Hospice Ethiopia’s nurses in delivering palliative care training to healthcare professionals across Ethiopia.
Sue commented “it was a real privilege to go to Windsor Castle with my family and meet Princess Anne who awarded my medal. She took the time to ask me about my work and said that she had previously enjoyed visiting Ethiopia”.
