Item Type: Article

Abstract

Events in the UK emergence of Covid 19 have already left a legacy of sacrifice in relation to those who have sacrificed their lives in the support of caring for those with this deadly condition. Coronavirus has no regard for level of the organisational hierarchy, rank in society, race, ethnicity or religion. In reconnecting the universality of human experience, in its wake, it leaves the treasured memories of our colleagues and friends who paid the ultimate sacrifice for their care of others, with their lives. Their selflessness, regardless of professional or vocational background will never be forgotten but nor should the extent of the emotional cost on the healthcare workforce, of which our HCAs are an integral and invaluably embedded part.
