“Our nurses, doctors, physios, midwives, therapists, support services – every single person who makes sure those teams can do their jobs every single day – are working really hard in exceptional circumstances so I’d like to say a big thank you from me, on behalf of the board, for everything you’re doing.
“Please make sure you keep yourselves safe, look after yourselves, and listen to the regular advice.
“Importantly, do lead by example – as we all do every day – with hand washing and looking after each other.

“If you’re concerned about anything, please speak to your line manager or someone in the organisation – don’t be afraid to talk to us, even more so in these difficult times.
“Thank you – and keep up the good work.”
