Tributes paid to prison mental health nurse who died of covid-19

    47-year-old Craig Goldsney passed away on Thursday 21st January after a hard fought battle with Covid.

    The mental health nurse had worked at HMP Woodhill since 2007.

    He leaves behind wife Becca and sons Jacob, Ben and Ethan.

    The Central and North West London NHS Foundation Trust, who run healthcare services at HMP Woodhill, paid tribute to the nurse, calling him a 'dedicated professional'.

    The Trust's Chief Executive Claire Murdoch, said: “This is terribly sad news for Craig’s family, friends and colleagues in Offender Care.

    “He was a dedicated professional, and embodied the service motto of ‘caring, not judging’.

    “This is so sad, but Craig will be remembered with honour and gratitude.”

    A Go Fund Me page set up by the Woodhill Collective, for Craig's family, has raised nearly £6000 in his memory.

    The page describes him as 'an extremely popular member of the healthcare team' and that he would be missed by all.
