I first knew Sarah when she came to work in the NHS Regional team , and we quickly became friends – mostly because we shared a very dry sense of humour , and Sarah’s desk was always well stocked with snacks for me to raid! We also shared a love for our canine friends and traded stories of their antics!

No matter the work related crisis Sarah always maintained a pragmatic sensible approach, drawing on her years of experience – and most importantly we could always share a laugh even in the face of a difficult task.

When Sarah had Dom I loved hearing about his progress. It was very clear from the start that Sarah was a natural when it came to being a mum and absolutely adored Dom.

Although we haven’t worked together for a few years I enjoyed our regular WhatsApp conversations, sharing updates, funny stories and banter. I will miss these greatly.

My sincerest condolences to Sarah’s family at this time.
