Augustine Agyei-Mensah – a Learning Disabilities Nurse at Northamptonshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust, Northampton, England – passed away after suffering from COVID-19.
Augustine Agyei-Mensah, known to his colleagues as Gus, was a highly regarded team member at Northamptonshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust (NHFT).
The father-of-four had worked as a learning disabilities nurse at the trust since 2014, having qualified the year before.
Before training as a healthcare worker, he was employed by South West Trains for four years.
He worked closely with the team's speech and language therapist and his psychology colleagues to support people with complex cognitive and sensory needs.
Paying tribute to him, the NHFT said: "Augustine always recognized that as a clinician he had an opportunity to support service users in making positive changes."
Originally from Ghana, he was proud of his heritage and "dedicated" to his young family.
