We’re definitely in the build up to the Christmas Season. The Prince & Princess of Wales Hospice hosted their annual Christmas Fayre last Sunday. While the building was buzzing there was a quiet calmness in the inpatient unit. Dear Green Place caught up with Staff Nurse Joanne Noble during one of her shift breaks and Sheonad Laidlaw who is a Specialty Doctor in there. After the Christmas Fayre there was the annual lighting of the Christmas Tree in the grounds of the hospice - each light dedicated to the memory of someone who is missed but not forgotten.

The Prince & Princess of Wales Hospice is a beautiful award winning building. We’ve heard in previous episodes of Dear Green Place how it is like a 5 star hotel. As well as all the medical care and support that goes on at Glasgow’s Hospice there is a strong operations team keeping the place running smoothly. From the moment you are greeted as you walk through the front door by the reception team to housekeeping and maintenance it’s a constant job keeping everything running smoothly. In this episode we spend time with some of the people who work in these teams.
