Colleagues at the Prison started the GoFundMe page on Thursday aiming to raise £3,500. But by Friday lunchtime the total was already beyond that.
The Woodhill Collective wrote: It is with great sadness that we are setting up this page in honour and memory of our dear friend and much respected colleague, Staff Nurse Craig Goldsney, who died in hospital after a hard-fought battle with Covid-19. Craig was an extremely popular member of the healthcare team with his colleagues and prison staff and he was well respected and liked by his patients. He will be greatly missed by everyone that knew him.
At least 222 frontline health and care workers have been identified after dying with coronavirus.
Through tributes from loved ones and confirmation through sources such as local NHS trusts and other authorities, the PA news agency has confirmed the names of health and social care workers who have died after contracting Covid-19 since March 11 2020.
This chronological list contains people who were working in roles shortly before their deaths where they were likely to come into contact with patients.
The figure is likely to be lower than the true number of workers who have died, as the names of some victims will not yet be in the public domain.
Hospitals should be vaccinating elderly and vulnerable inpatients, a Government immunisation adviser has said, after some NHS trusts refused to administer the Covid-19 jab.
Professor Anthony Harnden, of the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI), said it was “absolutely essential” that hospital trusts vaccinated those most at risk of Covid-19 in their care.
The call comes after a Sky News investigation found evidence of hospitals telling the families of elderly non-Covid patients that they are only vaccinating outpatients, and not those staying overnight.

In one case, Maria Thompson was told by a staff member at St Helens and Knowsley NHS Trust that her 80-year-old mother would not be vaccinated during her stay for an autoimmune illness.
