It takes place on Tuesday 21st February, 2017 at 7.30pm in Seagoe Parish Centre, Portadown.

Organised by the Chaplaincy Team, Patient Support and Human Resources, the event aims to give people the chance to reflect and remember their colleagues and loved ones.

Anne Coyle, Bereavement Co-ordinator for the Southern Trust said, “Sadly because of the nature of our work in health and social care, our staff experience death quite often.

“Whilst as professionals, we are trained to deal with end of life situations, many of us would welcome the opportunity, on a personal level, to take this time to pay tribute to patients, clients and indeed colleagues who have passed away.
