I am always in awe of people in the medical field and after 2020 I hope none of us ever loss sight of everything they do for us. It's a timely book but I can't for the life of me fathom why it wasn't edited down. It would have made a more compelling read if it were half as long.

As an NHS worker this was wonderful to read. Often the job is thankless and the sickest patients unconscious and therefore unaware of you. The stories were endearing and heartfelt, exactly what I needed to hear about right now. Thank you to Adam Kay (ex NHS Consultant) for remembering us radiographers, an often forgotten Allied Health Profession that sees the majority of patients in a hospital.
The pandemic has been brutal and indescribable to work through. For the 620+ NHS and care workers who died with Covid-19 I am sorry there wasn't enough PPE for you, I hope the investigations lead to charges for those responsible at the very least. For the health professionals who refused to work without the correct PPE that are now fighting court battles to keep their protected job titles and not lose their jobs I am 100% behind you all. For myself and my NHS colleagues going to work day in day out knowing that we could be next at any moment and coping with that anxiety, I only hope it gets better. To everyone that buys this pandemic book and therefore donates to NHS Charities - thank you.

A beautiful compilation of words for one of the UK’s greatest assets, the NHS. Stories, poems, recipes and lyrics, all written by familiar names, all pouring out their love for our health service, something I’m sure we can all relate to. A must read, if nothing else, to help raise money for the NHS charities and as a reminder of how brilliant this service is, should anything ever happen to it (keeping all my fingers and toes crossed that nothing ever will).

A brilliant collection of memories, stories and poems about the NHS that are moving, heartwarming and made me laugh numerous times whilst reading. Can not recommend enough, not only is it uplifting and will make you smile, all proceeds go to charity making it even more of a reason to buy.
