Dear All
Every day I watch nurses, after an exhausting 12-hour shift, in their cars, on their wards, at home, posting videos, sometimes in tears, pouring their hearts out. I am sometimes moved to tears myself. At least 100 NHS staff and many more in care homes have died from Covid-19.
Many of our selfless nurses come from overseas and are here on a visa. They are obliged to pay the punitive NHS health surcharge which can be crippling. This must be scrapped.
Can you do more? Are you a member of union or group in healthcare? Can you mobilise support via your social media accounts?
We just need a few more hundred supporters to achieve lift-off.
Please take minute this weekend to think of a way of helping
Thank you so much
Best wishes
Alain
