The Coronavirus challenge is bigger than anything most of us will have faced in our working lives. But the bigger the challenge, the greater are the heroes and heroines who rise to it.
We are proud at Combined Healthcare of the values of compassion and teamwork that drive what we do and who we are. We want everyone who works for us and with us to have the opportunity to show solidarity, appreciation and gratitude for each other – for the things we do, for the extra mile we go, for the compassion we show.
We know that everyone is united in this challenge. Frontline staff and support staff. Staff working on our wards and people working throughout our community teams. Permanent staff and bank. Service users, carers and volunteers. We are ALL in this together and we want to highlight, support and recognise everyone

Shout out to the Substance Misuse Team
The Substance Misuse Team have a service user group who are particularly at risk of infection and spreading, information from NHS and Government has been frequent and specific for Mental Health and Learning Disabilities but less so for Substance Misuse. Our staff alongside partner organisations have been critical in generating specific regional advice for Substance Misuse Services. Their particular challenge has been in arranging for almost 900 service users on substitution therapy and detox treatment to receive their prescriptions safely. Not only has this been a mammoth task to write and arrange prescriptions with pharmacies but our staff have also been delivering medication to a large number of service users.
As ever, you have taken control over a difficult situation and once again selflessly put service users way before your own needs and concerns.
You continue to provide a service that we are very, very proud of.
It's both a pleasure and a privilege to have you as our colleagues and you have my sincere thanks for all you do.
