Meet Gergana Spasova…
What do you love about your job?
I love my job! Helping and supporting our domestic staff and our clinical colleagues make me feel very important and that we are an essential part of the health care process.
What are the challenges?
It can be very emotional sometimes, as many of the patients are going through hard times, but we try to be there for them and to support them in every possible way.

Bristol is a lovely city. We have many universities and colleges and many students from all over the world are coming for their studies here and that brings life to Bristol.
