During both waves of COVID-19, public support surged for our staff as they fought to overcome the immense challenges of treating patients who were critically ill with COVID-19, leading to an unprecedented outpouring of kindness and benevolence.
Staff at both sites were overwhelmed by the generous donations of food, IT and medical equipment from friends, companies and members of the local community. Meanwhile volunteers rallied to manufacture surgical gowns, and The Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea offered staff free parking. Gestures such as the weekly Clap for Carers lifted the spirits of NHS workers across the nation and the many messages of support teams at our Trust received from royalty, celebrities and members of the public, had a significant impact on morale.
