Hello Interloper!

Still in touch with many of the people at Maidstone and Tunbridge Wells NHS Trust, Sophie picked up the telephone. Knowing that if she volunteered to go back to frontline NHS services, and as the situation increased in severity, she would potentially be doing some very long hours, logic dictated that she would prefer to be at her local hospital which was a five-minute walk away.
It all happened very quickly after that. “I contacted the boss of the department and I said, ‘Would you like me back?’”, Sophie recounted. “He said, ‘Yes, please.’, so we shut the clinics down on the Friday, by Tuesday I was in a COVID-19 training day and on the Thursday night I was on ITU.”
