We’d like to say a huge thank you to our clinical staff, administrators, managers and porters, who took the time to support and assist the smooth running of our trust PCR clinics at Roseberry Park Hospital in Middlesbrough.
Due to the rise in the number of staff needing PCR tests earlier this month, James Cook University Hospital were working hard to swab both their own staff and ours. With government testing sites often being fully booked, we set up a ‘swabbing clinic’ for TEWV staff to ease the pressure on our partners.
Sharon Salvin, Head of Nursing in Teesside, said: “Staff came into work on weekends, worked extra shifts and went that extra mile to deliver this service at a time of need. As a result of this, many staff were able to return to work and support their colleagues by avoiding delays.”
Well done to everyone who took part! #NHSHeroes
