Award all frontline NHS staff a Campaign Medal for their work during COVID19
The National Health Service is a disciplined government organisation. There is currently no form.of medallic recognition for NHS staff to reflect national emergency, gallant service or for long and distinguished service, like HM Forces, the police, fire service and others receive.
The National Health Service has undertaken the most dangerous work never before seen in the service's history. Some staff have paid the ultimate price themselves and others continue to be put in life threatening exposure to Coronavirus. We the people request that Her Majesty graciously awards all frontline NHS Clinicians, and others routinely exposed, a medal bearing Her Majesty the Queen and a dedicated ribbon specific to this fight. As a nation it is very important we recognise these selfless and brave people in the same way we would recognise our service personnel, police and other uniformed services. Thank you.
