A rowan tree will be planted at Gartnavel General Hospital in Glasgow today, Thursday April 4, which will be the first memorial tree to health workers in Scotland.
A memorial tree will be planted at a Glasgow hospital in a first for Scotland to commemorate NHS medics who tragically took their own lives.
After the death of cardiologist Jagdip Sidhu in 2018, a charity, Doctors in Distress, was set up by his brother to help address the issue. The charity launched the National Memorial Tree Campaign, to remember medics who took their own lives.READ MORE: Glasgow baby killer who murdered four-month-old daughter battered behind bars
NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde non-executive director, Michelle Wailes, said: "Having this tree right outside the main hospital on Gartnavel campus will hopefully give staff a place where, even for a short time, they can pause for reflection. "Together we can help to break down the stigma around mental health and help to prevent further suicides."
