Coronavirus COVID-19 campaign medal for NHS staff.
Coronavirus COVID-19 campaign medal for NHS staff. NHS staff now fighting a campaign as our armed forces have done for the last 30 years. They do not receive lavish pay rises, only public recognition and medals. Our NHS are now experiencing that. At the end of this campaign, all to receive a medal.
Simple recognition. This is a once in 100 year battle. NHS staff throughout the country are putting themselves in direct harms way. This is an indiscriminate killer and like our armed forces fighting a battle, they may or may not come out the other side of it. NHS staff are displaying courage and sacrificing their home lives and personal safety to care for others and ensure they do not lose their lives.
