The public trusts doctors, nurses and health professionals far more than it trusts politicians or journalists. Staff are the backbone of the NHS, and at this time of year in particular, when many of you are working hard to care for patients, we want to thank you – from the bottom of our hearts.
Shamefully, the Christmas period brings no let up from government attempts to distract from its own mismanagement of the NHS and set staff and patients against each other, with its continued spin against ‘greedy’ doctors, ‘callous’ nurses and ‘lazy’ healthcare staff.
