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

Many are experiencing unprocessed trauma, stress & burnout.

NHS staff cannot care for the nation if the system is breaking them in the process.

This winter, NHS staff will face overflowing wards, 14-hour shifts & unbearable emotional strain. Many carry it home in silence.

We offer them free counselling - but we urgently need help to make sure we can meet the rising demand.

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.

Our CEO @clairegoodwinfee.bsky.social said:

"It’s not just patient dignity being stripped away, it’s the wellbeing of those holding the NHS together. Corridor care isn’t just a symptom of failure; it’s a warning signal our workforce is at breaking point."

Corridor care is an ‘everyday reality’ not confined to winter, doctors warn
CORRIDOR care is an “everyday reality” rather than a winter pressure, doctors warned today, as new research shows three in five have treated patients in temporary spaces such as cupboards this summer....

We're a bit emosh & HUGELY grateful to Aberfeldy Drama Club in Scotland who very generously donated their ticket sales of £1000 to us.

They staged 'Tending' - a play about NHS nurses during Covid. This will really make a difference.

A very important day in the calender for those of us working to support healthcare professionals.

Today we should not only remember those we've lost, but seek to do better to make sure that no healthcare worker ever feels that ending their life is the only option left.
