Yvonne Millard, our Deputy Chief Nurse, said it was hard for staff at times during the pandemic because they wanted to do more. But when called upon she says they did remarkable things and have emerged stronger.
She said: "It's been hard, it's been heart breaking, we've had terrible losses, everyone has been touched by the pandemic, but I think it's made everyone much more connected and compassionate."
Celebrating BWC Spirit
We are highlighting the amazing things our colleagues have done and achieved during the pandemic.
Our teams have bravely stood by the side of our patients, changed how they have worked to keep key and emergency services running and gone beyond the Trust to help colleagues in other parts of the NHS.
They have done so with an approach and spirit that is uniquely BWC and we want to celebrate that and what has been achieved.
From frontline clinical colleagues to our unseen and often unsung heroes in labs, offices and in our corridors - everyone has had a part to play and we’re sharing some of their stories over the next two weeks.
If you would like to thank individuals or teams either by sharing some kind words, pictures or a short video we would love to see them. You can submit your messages, pictures or videos by emailing bwc.communications@nhs.net
