\nMidwife<\/p>\n

I am a retired Midwife at Worthing, and have worked bank shifts on Delivery Suite throughout the pandemic and also in the Vaccination Hub.<\/p>\n

The initial PPE challenges were very hot when delivering babies, but I also remember that the generosity of the public was outstanding. My neighbours in the village of Washington donated toiletries for staff who needed to shower at work before going home.<\/p>\n

I was also very grateful to the volunteers who set up shop outside Worthing Hospital so that staff could purchase items in short supply in the shops.\u00a0 Going into a twilight shift one night with a pack of toilet rolls, some pasta and tinned tomatoes was like winning the lottery.<\/p>\n

Here are pictures of me in PPE and colleagues receiving the toiletries taken in April 2020.<\/p>\n
