The N.H.S. appreciation thread.
Discussion
I was talking to a nurse this morning and unsurprisingly she said that work has been incredibly busy, stressful and very tiring but after our chat she was heading back to work for yet another shift. No moaning, just a fabulously determined attitude to carry on with the job. She is assisting with the C-19 preparations to a newly converted ward in a large Surrey hospital. She is also a single mum to 2 children and hasn't much family around here, she is a hero!
Madam, I salute you and thank you and very single one of your colleagues for all your selfless work that you are all doing.
Can I ask you to add your positive observations and experiences that you've had with our wonderful National Health Service whist they are dealing with the C-19 outbreak please?

Absolutely this.
Along with anyone else still working and interacting with the public, such as those staffing our supermarkets. Fortunately not had to visit the NHS since it kicked off, but have made a clear effort to thank supermarket staff two two times we have been.
Not only are they still turning up to work and facing the public, which is enough of an ask if you ask me, they are often working in close proximity to them either on wards or in community care, and close to each other, totally unable to work from home or maintain 2m distance from anything at all, often also hot desking, then going home to family and loved ones. That's basically all NHS staff, unless they have very sever underlying heath condition, or happen to be one of the very small number lucky enough to able to work from home.
Then you have the front line A&E, Paramedic, and ITU/ICU staff who are meeting and treating confirmed and unconfirmed COVID-19 patents, often without the right or best PPE for the job, knowing that the dose and viral load they can and will get will be high enough that even if they are young fit and well they may get the virus seriously enough that it becomes fatal, as has been happening in Itally.
We are in the calm before the storm, and its already really grim for these people, it a fortnight, who only knows.
Absolute credit to the lot of them.

Don't forget to "Clap for the Carers" at 8.00 pm tonight.
Very impressive here with eight out of ten houses taking part. Most people at their front doors or in their front gardens with a few at windows. Well done Chesterfield - my part of it at least.Well done doctors, nurses and all NHS staff etc, we would be lost without you

Great to see, and hear, everyone at their doorway or window. We had children banging on saucepans and even a firework or two, I think it gave quite a boost all round.
Same here, not sure about the need for fireworks (pets?) but no huge harm.It is a shame their working conditions are so needlessly s
