“One of the things that stands out in Pam’s career is her strong leadership and passion for vulnerable patients.

“Pam was instrumental in developing the nurse lead service for asylum seekers; she strongly believed in equality and fairness and made sure that everyone received the same high standards of care.

“It has been heart-warming to see how much she was loved throughout the Doncaster NHS community and our thoughts are with everyone who she has touched, especially Tony and her family.
