Message from RPS: COVID-19

Dear All,

Hope you and your teams are keeping well and staying safe.

Thank you for the calls and emails over the last couple of weeks. Your insights and inputs have and continue to be valuable. We have been submitting your asks to government and the NHS on an ongoing basis and trying ourselves to help with guidance via our hub page.

I am keen to still get more feedback from you to be able to lobby the government and national NHS teams on. I know calls on a regular basis are difficult, so please feel free to email your thoughts and suggestions to me directly when you can. My email is [email protected]

Thanks for all you and your teams for the fantastic work on the frontline.

Stay safe.

Ravi
