Emily Brown, who is believed to be the world’s first hospital-based namaste care practitioner, is the first of our finalists.
Using alternative therapies to relax people, Emily’s role involves working with patients at the end of their life, or who are living with dementia, and helping family members who are struggling with grief.
Emily said: “I got really emotional when I got nominated because it’s such a new role so any recognition is great recognition – I’m really really grateful.
“My goal is to one day have my own team of practitioners at Medway Maritime Hospital. Once it’s embedded here, I want namaste care as a standard practice in every NHS hospital.”
