Reflections on the pandemic
Clare Panniker, Chief Executive of Mid and South Essex NHS Foundation Trust which is formed from Southend Hospital, Basildon Hospital and Broomfield Hospital, spoke about staff rising to the evolving challenge of Covid. We now have new Covid treatments "Throughout the pandemic, we have seen the dedication and strength of our staff in responding to the events of the last 12 months. It has been a huge test for us all and a year like no other. Our staff have transformed the way we work so that we could increase critical April 2021
care capacity but also so that we could safely deliver non-Covid care. Everyone has had their part to play and risen to the significant challenge - whether it is a nurse or doctor on the frontline, a porter, or someone behind the scenes helping keep things going – we are so grateful for their extraordinary hard work.
