Hinchingbrooke Hospital Staff are very grateful for the generous acts of kindness the local communities are providing
Last night, March 26, people across the nation, stood on their doorsteps to show their support and appreciation for NHS Staff and Key workers.
The event known as ‘Clap the Carers’ took place at 8pm where people cheered and applauded the work of NHS Staff and Key workers
Roars of cheer and clapping could be heard in many streets in communities across Huntingdon.
NHS Staff and Key workers are on the frontline and are risking their health by continuing to work during a UK lockdown due to the Covid 19 Pandemic.

“It is so important and reassuring to know how supported our truly amazing staff are by the public.
