Thank you to the thousands of people who took to their doorways, gardens and windows to cheer on the NHS.

Our staff heard you.

They heard neighbours, friends, colleagues, patients and service-users clapping their gratitude and encouragement.

They heard communities unite to praise their commitment and hard work.

They heard the nation, at a time of social distancing, join together to clap for carers and the NHS at 8pm on Thursday, March 26.

And our social media feeds lit up with videos and messages of applause for our staff across Oxfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Banes, Swindon and Wiltshire.

We go to work for you. Please stay at home for us.
