Brian remeberence page

Brian Turner

This memorial page is in memory of our friend and colleague Brian Turner.

Brian sadly passed away unexpectedly and suddenly on 3rd December 2020 at the age of 55 years.

Brian was the PACS Manager at Barts Health NHS Trust.  He had been part of the Barts Health Imaging family for 32 years, starting as a radiography student at St Bartholomew’s Hospital, then working in the trust as a radiographer, superintendent and site lead for many years before becoming PACS Manager.

His passion for his work was unbounded and he worked tirelessly until the end for the good of patients, his colleagues and the trust.

He will be truly missed by so many friends and colleagues who have had the privilege to know him.

Brian is survived by his wife Karen, son Evan, his parents, siblings and wider family.   Our heartfelt condolences go out to his family.
