Ambassador Locsin Receives Filipino MBE Medal Recipient Brenda De Ocampo
Ambassador Locsin today received Filipino nurse Brenda Deocampo, one of King Charles' inaugural birthday honors recipients, at the Embassy.
Brenda, Lead Nurse Manager for Acute Medicine at the Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust, was awarded the Member of the Order of the British Empire medal for her excellence in managing the admitting ward for COVID-19 at Charing Cross Hospital. This, despite her husband, also a nurse at the same Trust, being hospitalized in the intensive care due to COVID. During the pandemic, she and her husband also started a voluntary pastoral group for the Filipino nursing community at the Trust that helped ensure the wellness of nurses and develop their resilience.
Ms. Deocampo attributes her success to the unique cultural upbringing and heritage of Filipinos, particularly in the importance and care that Filipinos extend to the family and their community.
