COVID-19 vaccination remains the best way to protect yourself, your family, your colleagues and of course patients from the virus when working in our healthcare settings.

Whilst COVID-19 vaccination is not currently a condition of employment, we do encourage our staff to get vaccinated.

If you are unvaccinated, there is helpful advice and information available by searching on the 'NHS England' website where you can also find out more about how to access the vaccination.

Diversity Matters

We're looking forward to hearing from you
