I hope you have managed to have some rest during the Christmas period. You’ll be well aware of how challenging it has been at our Trust and in our neighbouring ones in north east London. I wanted to take the opportunity to share with you the text of a message I sent this afternoon to all our staff.

We are coming to the end of a year that has been like no other in recent memory. The Tier 4 restrictions that were imposed over the weekend will have a significant impact on the Christmas plans of many of us. We have to hope that the sacrifices we’ll all endure in the coming weeks will result in a reduction in infections in our communities and a lessening of the load on our hospitals.
