Dear colleagues
In all my years at the Trust, never before have I felt the need to express my admiration and gratitude and to pass on my best wishes, more than I do at this present time.
It is just four weeks since we treated our first Covid-19 positive patient. Since then, you have pulled together, looked out for each other, and continued to put our patients first. I know this isn’t something new, this is the team spirit I have always been proud of, and is what sets you apart as the best in the NHS.
The pace of change has been significant, and many of you are now being asked to work in different areas and sometimes in different roles. Your understanding and support during this time is vital as we face this challenge together.
None of this is taken for granted, especially over the Easter period. I know many of you will be working this bank holiday weekend but I hope that you are also able to find some time to rest and recharge.
On behalf of myself and the Trust Board, thank you.
Best wishes
Ann
