My grandfather Herbert Broemel, passed away on Dec. 1 this year for any one who wants to give their love and condolences to my granny Joyce Broemel the funeral will take place Thursday 13.Dec 10 am Stafford crematorium . They both worked most of their live at St G’s. I think it would be be great for my granny to see some faces she knows.

Benjamin your grandfather was one of the first charge nurses I met at St. George’s when I started my training in 1971. A calm, quiet and patient man who helped me take my first faltering steps in the profession of psychiatric nursing. He was a very positive influence on me. My condolences to your family.
Ian Ward, Adelaide South Australia.

Hi Benjamin, Bert and to a lesser degree Joyce we’re both significant in my career into mental health. Bert, was one of the charge nurses on Palmer Ward where I also started my career. I like Ian Ward also live in Australia, so will be unable to pay my respects to your Grandad. Please say g’day to Joyce for me and let her know that from afar Bert’s contribution is/was noteworthy. Regards Phil Warelow

Hello Benjamin. I find myself agreeing with my old friends Ian and Phil as far Berts influence on my early career. The first ward I was based on was Palmer Ward with your grandfather. He was an excellent charge nurse and I will never forget the mid morning coffee break and my first introduction to ground coffee,something I now drink a lot of.. Unlike Ian and Phil I don’t live in Australia,but Yorkshire so unable to come to the come to pay my respects. But please give my condolences and best wishes to Joyce

Hi there, I have been directed to this great site to see if I can reach any of my mothers old colleagues. Julie Roper was Whittle/Daly/Snape retires from St George’s as a nurse on 8th Feb after nearly 40 years service and I was hoping I could reach some of her ex colleagues to invite them to a party on the 8th Feb at st George’s social club at 7pm. Please contact me her daughter Gemma 07872037996. Thanks
