This message from @DrGregorSmith will ring true for so many. The signs of turmoil and struggle someone might be feeling inside are not always visible. Care, compassion and kindness towards each other makes a difference.
1/ Our experience over last 17mths affects us in different ways; some are frustrated, angry or grieving at loss of loved ones or livelihoods. Some are scared lonely or anxious. Almost universally, it feels we’re tired and fed up. The same experience applies to health + care staff
