Brian Turner

In Memory of

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.

Karen and Evan. Very shocked and saddened to hear about Brian’s passing. I worked as a student radiographer with Brian from 2989 to 1992. He was the most decent man you could hope to meet,always happy and friendly, the type a guy you just wanted to be friends with. Anytime I hear the Saw Doctors on the radio I think of him. May he rest in peace. …

Karen and Evan, I feel for you both at this traumatic time and hope that you are both strong. What to say about a character such as Brian? His relaxed, happy go lucky, chirpy ways often disguised the deeply caring, intelligent, hard working chap underneath. The presence of Brian in the department at Bart’s was inspirational; he would never let the mood flag nor skirt around hard work. He was a morale booster. For those that knew him at the time that I was there and for Karen and Evan I offer these memories: Literally judo throwing me in the staffroom due my general election voting choice. Introducing the innovative ‘Wasp on a stick’ The viewing area Barber shop quartet and finally I thank him for my nickname of ‘Torchy’. Ah, Brian. What a hole you leave in so many lives. …

Dear Karen, Evan and family, So sorry for your loss, such tragic news. I would like to pass on my deepest condolences to you all. Brian was always honest and would air his opinions in such colourful ways. It is with these colours that I will remember him by. From my time knowing him, he was always willing to help and do the right thing. I always found him a very pleasant and dedicated colleague to work with. I especially remember the time when Brian chaperoned my Son during his work experience week at Barts last year, my Son commented afterwards what is a nice person Brian was and took a liking to him straightaway. He will always be remembered. …

I met Brian in 1994 as a newly qualified radiographer. He was welcoming and knowledgeable and taught me an enormous amount. He later became a friend. Brian was an old school gentleman and one of the kindest people I have ever met. His consideration for others was immense. He was tremendously funny and fascinating to listen to. I was proud to know Brian – he made a difference and enriched many lives. Karen and Evan you are in my thoughts. …

Dear Karen, Evan and family, so sad to hear the news and our thoughts are with you. I only knew Brian for a short time during the setting up of the Nightingale but learning of his passing made me feel like I had lost a dear old friend. His knowledge and hard work was instrumental in making the project a success and his talk over supper after a very long day helped make the whole thing much more fun. Hard to believe that he will not be around to see who is first up against the wall come the revolution…. …

Dear Karen, Evan and Family, it was with shock and great sadness that I learnt of Brian’s passing. My first recollection of Brian was at an NHS London meeting with BT many years ago. I think we were all quite taken aback by the tenacity of his interrogation of BT but secretly had no end of admiration for the way he would accept no compromise that threatened the well being of NHS Patients and Colleagues. Many Suppliers would bear testament to Brian in this respect! As years passed I got to know Brian better and it was always a pleasure to be in his company; I will miss him very much. May I wish you Love, Light and Peace at this very difficult time. …

To Brian’s family, friends, and all those who worked with him. So sorry to hear about Brian’s very sudden and unexpected passing. My deepest condolences to you all. I will always remember Brian with fond memories of my visits to the Royal London Hospital. He was witty, very funny with an ever so dry sense of humour. He worked tirelessly for the benefit of the imaging service and ultimately the Patients. Brian loved to discuss the politics of the day with me always trying to sway my opinions. I will miss our political discussions. Brian will be truly missed but never forgotten. …
