My own experience in hospitals suggests that if you ask the nurses/hcas, they will open “The Drawer of Stuff Folks Left Behind” and offer you a selection thereof.

Must say my mum (currently in Worthing hospital! - slightly more eventful visit to my sister than she anticipated) is being very well looked after. Paramedics, nurses, docs, HCAs - can’t fault them.

And I always made sure to write thank you cards to the staff who made a big difference - often HCAs or domestics - who do a huge amount of work for very little money.

I love all the nurses and HCAs I work with
Met a couple of nurses at a non-healthcare conference this wkend. I told them many of us are appalled at what they face & that we see and support them. The moral injury is real. They said it was good to hear, as they don't always feel that public support. That appreciation matters right now. #ABpoli
