The 10-year anniversary
The Lavender Touch treatment room was opened within the Margaret Kerr Unit. The 10-year anniversary and launch of a book about The Lavender Touch – ‘Moments in Time’ was written and published by Jan Beattie and Sheila Scott. By then, it was estimated we required £35,000 annually to continue our service in the Scottish Borders.
Bamboo Touch sleepwear
Our Bamboo Touch sleepwear range was launched, having worked closely with patient Pauline Birse, whose design and knowledge allowed us to create this unique product to help with debilitating night drenches. The range is now being used by the Margaret Kerr Unit, and Macmillan nurses within NHS Borders.
