Derby's hospitals' Thoroughly Modern Housekeepers
In Derby's hospitals group Modern Housekeepers support the nursing staff by focusing on those areas of work, which historically have never come under either domestic services or nursing roles, but are essential for the care of patients. They provide an essential link between nursing and facilities, always being approachable and accommodating, undertaking the little tasks for the patients that mean so much, further enhancing the patient's experience.
