View from the High Street: We can make a difference

I’m sure you’ll all agree it has been quite a month…

At first you begin each day nervous, as you get ready for work. The journey to the practice seems like a Sunday, as no one is around. But the heroes who work in the supermarkets are there and busier than they are over any Christmas period. You respect their endeavours as they stock the shelves amid panic buying. You see the postal and delivery drivers and you admire their commitment.

You arrive at work early and start looking through your patient list. You get ready. Elbows bare, no tie, face mask and gloves. on I feel as if I’m back working in the eye hospital. But this is different – this feels more threatening.
