Rejected petition Provide ongoing mental health support for Covid-19 frontline NHS staff.

Ensure that all NHS staff who have had to work directly caring for and treating patients with Covid-19 are given immediate access to adequate mental health support for as long as they need it.

More details

NHS frontline workers who have willingly put themselves at risk of contracting Covid-19 are even now suffering from PTSD - and worse - after the psychological stress and trauma that they have been exposed to. These people need – NEED – dedicated and active mental health support now so that they themselves can recover and rebuild their lives, and with luck continue to work in jobs that they loved and were good at.
