Our Trust cares for 2,000th Covid-19 patient

This week (11 December), our Trust cared for its 2,000 Covid-19 positive patient.

Throughout November, and into this month, we have seen the number of admissions related to Covid-19 stabilise, with pressures decrease somewhat although the picture still remains challenging.

Thankfully, we are beginning to see falling community infection rates, but crucially we cannot be complacent and we urge everyone to continue to be vigilant and follow Government advice and guidance. This is particularly important as we head towards the holidays.

Since March, colleagues have done a remarkable job in tackling this disease, responding to this unprecedented health crisis with dedication and determination. Now that we have much more cause for optimism with prospective vaccines on the way, we want to urge you all to continue to adhere to guidance and to keep up the resolve you have shown throughout 2020.

It has been a long and hard nine months since this disease entered, uninvited, to our daily lives. Please continue your efforts and do the right thing.
