President’s Message
I would like to introduce myself as Dolphin Society President, my name is Jane Palmer (nee Mountstevens), a Bristol girl, married, with two grown up sons. My mum of 92 lives independently in Bristol and is a testament to keeping older folk in their own homes for as long as possible.
I have had a very rewarding career in nursing at the BRI for over 40 years, I worked in various departments, but my passion was definitely the Operating Theatres.
Since retiring, I continue to support the NHS by vaccinating, which I started at the outset of the vaccinating program.
I am also a trustee of Bristol and Weston Hospitals’ Charity which I thoroughly enjoy as we are able to support the upgrade of patient areas, research and staff training.
I also volunteer at the Trussell Trust food bank in Lawrence Weston which again, although sometimes challenging, is very worthwhile.
My hobby is making gold and silver jewellery with the help of a very patient teacher.
I am very excited to be President and will work hard to raise funds for the Society to help elderly people on low income to live safely and independently in their own homes. I do hope that you will feel able to support us too.
