@ruthwilliams83 @ramsey_sabit I agree Ruth. The hybrid model is a step in the direction and works of the model used is right. I use the same approach as you do and works a dream.

A year ago today we met 100s off staff to share our covid plans splitting the hospital into red and green zones.
At the time I said I had always been proud to be the PPH general manager and, no matter what hit us, I was sure I would be even more proud of everyone

I was right 👋
