Cape Town - A hero in the nursing fraternity, sister Patricia Bailey, has shown strength, perseverance and dedication at Groote Schuur Hospital .
“At work, we were filled with fear because we didn’t know what to expect from this pandemic and how working with Covid positive patients would affect us,” said Bailey. The nursing staff had to keep families up to date by phoning them and do video calls to see their loved ones. ’’Communication between families improved, and staff from different areas all over the hospital were working as a team for one common goal. By working away from your ward, which is your comfort zone, I realised that I’m still up for any challenge,” said Bailey.Bailey was born and raised in Worcester, she came to Cape Town in 1984. She grew up with her grandparents and an aunt.
’’I took a break after 26 years for one full year for various reasons, and one of them was to give quality time to my family,” said Bailey.
