What NHS staff did during the pandemic was extraordinary, but what they do now, every day without the worldwide media attention is extraordinary too.

This was Christmas Eve.
My elderly Dad sat in a hospital corridor.
Not a ward.
A corridor.
Around him
mental health crises,
pregnancy complications,
people with dementia,
sepsis,
and a prisoner under guard.
It’s loud.
Chaotic.
Relentless.

It's not only me that thinks supporting frontline healthcare staff should be the main objective in returning to pre-covid levels of productivity.
Supporting our workers should be the main priority. You can't run a service when your biggest asset is exhausted.
And you can't argue with the science.
