Pharmacy staff have been working so hard over the last few weeks, increasing deliveries & working long hours to ensure that everyone gets the medicine they need.

Thank you for everything you're doing, you all deserve a Somerset Superhero shout out! 👏👏 #SomersetProud

Our Deputy Director for Children’s Services told us why our social workers are awesome:
“Every day I hear how one of you has changed a child’s life for the better, often in distressing & sometimes potentially dangerous circumstances for you as staff. You're amazing!” #WSWD2020
