Have an "NHS Heroes Day".
The proposal would be to honour the NHS heroes of Covid-19 on a specific day each year in the UK calendar.
That day being when life returns to 'normal' in the UK and the 'lockdown' is finally lifted by the government.
The suggestion is that the day be called "NHS Heroes Day".
There is not a single citizen in the UK who has not benefitted sometime in their lives from the help and support of the NHS.
NHS staff have been the frontline heroes of the day in the battle to save lives from Covid-19 much as fighter pilots did saving the nation's lives during the Battle of Britain in World War II.
