Buckinghamshire Healthcare NHS Trust staff thank their local heroes for incredible donations and support
Buckinghamshire Healthcare NHS Trust would like to say a massive thank you to everyone who has supported them during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Trust chief executive, Neil Macdonald, said: “Individuals, community groups, local and national businesses have taken the time support us with everything from donations of food to hand-sewn laundry bags, hand-painted portraits and even Alpaca walks.
“All these acts of kindness have made a massive difference our staff and we would like to say thank you to everyone who has shown their appreciation for their hard work and dedication during this pandemic.”
Some staff members made the very difficult decision to temporarily leave their families to look after COVID-positive patients. The Trust was overwhelmed with offers of free temporary accommodation which enabled more than 50 members of staff to continue to work whilst keeping their loved ones safe.
Philippa Cook, Anticoagulation Nurse Specialist and Team Leader, was offered a flat to use for several weeks to enable her to work whilst keeping her family shielded. She said: “I was completely overwhelmed when I moved into the flat and I feel indebted to Ben and his family for letting me stay in their flat. I will never be able to thank them enough for what they have done for me.”
The Trust would like to thank all property owners and businesses who offered temporary accommodation during the pandemic which included include Waddesdon Manor, Dave Garricks, Ian Thomas of House Shaw, The Bell Winslow, ESRI UK Ltd, Vale of Aylesbury Housing Trust, Bucks Construction Academy Quainton, Wendover Resettlement Assistance Project, The Royal Grammar School Wycombe and Wycombe Abbey.
