Sam Young was a passionate, caring and talented nurse. At the time of her death she was the Interim Chief Nurse at The Robert Jones and Agnes Hunt Orthopaedic Hospital, near Oswestry. Sam had extensive senior level experience within primary, secondary and community health care in Scotland, England and the Military. She had served for more than 16 years with the Armed Forces, and was still serving as a Senior Officer in the British Army Reserve; where she was Infection Prevention and Control Lead for 202 (M) Multi-Role Medical Regiment. Starting her career in her native Scotland, she moved to Shropshire in November 2018. Sam worked for Shropshire Clinical Commissioning Group, before taking up a role in Primary Care at Severn Fields Medical Practice in Shrewsbury. She then went on to work for Shropshire Community Health NHS Trust before taking up her last post at RJAH. Sam was held in extremely high regard thanks to her excellent clinical knowledge, her absolute dedication to patient care, but most notably the quality of her character. She was a kind, fun and compassionate person. She will be missed enormously.
