Since March 2020, we have been working together with NHS Trusts across the country to deliver urgent care during the COVID-19 pandemic. Unprecedented strain has been placed on the health service, but the priority still remains the same, to ensure that patients can access the care they need. We are incredibly proud of our teams who have shown great teamwork, resilience and positivity in these uncertain and challenging times, whilst supporting the NHS and demonstrating our core value of #PeopleCaringForPeople.
