Covid Poems FINAL

Forward
Well - what can we say about the last 18 months?
It’s been unprecedented
It’s been incredidbly difficult
It’s challenged us like never before
But....
It’s been inspiring
It’s been rewarding at times
And is has made us proud like never before
The strength and resilience of our staff has been truly inspirational.
The way they have cared for our patients, their families and friends, but
also each other has been incredible - truly living our trust values.
This book of poems, which was the idea of Judy McDonald, our former
Interim Chief Nurse who led us through the peak of the pandemic, has
been written by our staff, service users and carers.
We hope you enjoy reading it as much as we did.
Kind regards,
Mark Axcell
Chief Executive
