With symptoms ranging from as little as a mild flue like cough and cold to incredibly severe and deadly serious respiratory syndrome and ultimately possible death.
Our Doctors, nurses and everybody in the National Health Service are working twenty-four hours a day to treat patients and administer care to anybody affected.

The highly trained and dedicated staff nursing them all wear the correct PPE Equipment or Personal, Protective Equipment as we’ve all come to know it.
The Lockdown that we have all been experiencing has brought about the closure of schools, businesses, shops, cinemas, restaurants and put a stop to sports and family gatherings. Staying home, only going out to purchase essential shopping or medical supplies, wearing gloves, masks and keeping a 2-meter distance from anybody we meet outside the relative safety of our homes has become the new “NORMAL”. “Stay Home, Protect the N.H.S. and Save Lives”.
