On Wednesday, leaders of Barbados’ Queen Elizabeth Hospital (QEH) accepted a landmark $100,000 donation from the Olga Worrell Memorial Scholarship Trust, a gift framed as far more than financial support—it is a strategic investment that will secure the future of high-quality critical care for generations of Barbadian patients. Senior Nursing Officer Cherry Jackman-Collymore, who leads the hospital’s Medical Directorate, emphasized that the funding fills a critical gap by expanding specialized education and professional development for critical care nursing staff, a sector facing growing workforce pressures as experienced senior practitioners approach retirement.
