We chose the owl for our trail as it is often characterised as a calm and gentle source of wisdom – and they work at night, like many of our doctors and nurses. They are wise seekers, tirelessly strong, considered, and accurate. In fact, owls are like the staff at North London Hospice as we learn and grow wiser from each interaction with our patients, their loved ones, and our wider community. Artist Tim Timmington created this owl to represent our hospice nurses.
