Frances Ritchie

Frances Dominica Ritchie, born on 21 December 1942, is a British nurse and Anglican religious sister who specialised in palliative care. She holds the OBE, is a Deputy Lieutenant and is an honorary Fellow of the Royal College of Nursing. She founded Helen and Douglas House, two hospices for seriously ill young people, which the article also calls respices. Her hospices were created for young people rather than for older patients, and her career joins nursing, palliative care and a religious vocation. The atlas records her as a nurse and hospice founder, and the facts here rest on the introduction of her English Wikipedia article.
