Sam Young
Posted: 26 Jun 2025

We are truly saddened to confirm that our Interim Chief Nursing Officer Sam Young has died after an accident.
Stacey Keegan, Chief Executive at The Robert Jones and Agnes Hunt Orthopaedic Hospital, said:
“Sam has worked at the Trust for a number of years in senior nursing positions, so this news has come as a huge shock to colleagues across the organisation. She was an excellent and supportive colleague, and was proud of the work we do here and of the colleagues that deliver such exceptional care.
“Sam had extensive senior level experience within primary, secondary and community health care in Scotland, England and the Military, and was still serving as a Senior Officer in the British Army Reserve.
“She was held in extremely high regard by everyone at RJAH thanks to her excellent clinical knowledge, her absolute dedication to patient care, but most notably the quality of her character. She was a kind, fun and compassionate person. We will miss her enormously.
“In the coming days and weeks we will find ways to honour Sam’s legacy and celebrate her life.”
