Name the next new (or few) NHS coronovirus emergency hospitals
I believe that it would inspiring to see the NEXT new emergency NHS coronavirus hospital to be called The Mary Seacole Hospital, in honour of a the important - but little reconised - 19th Century British-Jamaican nurse who was a contemporary of Florence Nightingale.
I believe that it would demonstrate that many British people do in fact recognise the professional contribution of this nurse in the evolution of the nursing profession and indirectly the contribution of nurses from the Caribbean in the past but also NOW during the coronavirus epidemic in the UK. Also, the light of the Windrush saga it might help black people to accept that British citizens recognise their daily contributions to society.
