NHS pay tribute to 'highly regarded' hospital worker who died of COVID-19

NHS Ayrshire & Arran bosses have today paid tribute to a member of staff who tragically died after contracting coronavirus.

Mum-of-two Fiona Johnstone was from Prestwick and worked on the administration team at the town's Biggart Hospital.

Members of staff lined up outside the hospital earlier this week as the devastated co-workers paid tribute to their colleague.

John Burns, NHS Ayrshire & Arran Chief Executive, said: "We are saddened to confirm a member of staff has passed away due to COVID-19.

"Fiona Johnstone was a valued and highly regarded member of our administration team who will be sadly missed.

"Our thoughts are with Fiona’s family, friends and colleagues at this difficult time."
