Coventry & Warwickshire NHS staff praised by the Duchess of Cambridge
Kate spoke to nurses at UHCW on a video call earlier this week.
The Duchess of Cambridge has heard the story of a senior nurse who held the hand of a dying patient and played his favourite band Bon Jovi after his wife could not make it to his bedside.
Kate praised Vasu Lingappa for going the 'extra mile'
The duchess made her comment as she chatted to a group of nurses with a variety of different roles, from University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire NHS Trust (UHCW), to learn about their experiences.
She also praised a nurse who highlighted she had been telling the public about the importance of the vaccine, saying being able to 'reassure the public' was 'fantastic'.
Speaking during the video call held on Tuesday, Kate said:
'You hear time and time again about the amazing things nurses up and down the country are doing - going that extra mile.
It's the things that, you know, it's not part of the training and the things that you're taught, but the things that come from your heart.'
A nurse from UHCW made headlines when she delivered the first Covid vaccine in the world to grandmother Margaret Keenan in December at University Hospital in Coventry.
Since then more than 440,000 vaccines have been delivered across the Midlands with the vaccination programme continuing in the region.
