More details
When the Coronavirus Epidemic ends, we want a medal, a State Decoration, awarded by the state to be given to all those of the NHS who served to protect us, including all surviving and posthumous NHS doctors, nurses, clinicians and volunteers who selflessly worked in the protection of others.
