CEO of AT Medics, Susan Sinclair said “Nurse Edith Cavell reminds us of our obligation to deliver compassionate care, even in the most challenging of times and places. She remains a beacon for humanitarian ideals, and her legacy continues to support the development of nurses, midwives and healthcare assistants who are faced with adversity, and who strive to uphold her unfaltering commitment to the delivery of care. Edith Cavell Surgery is particularly special to us, as it was one of the first in a family of practices that AT Medics began to manage in 2006, and many of our core values have developed and emerged here.

Today, we are together facing challenging times and a changing landscape for national healthcare, but we remain committed to our ethos of improving the care and improving the lives of our patients without any kind of prejudice, and we join members of the public, patients and colleagues today to remember Edith Cavell, who gave her life whilst serving patients in the most adverse of situations.”
