A strangely rewarding day. No glamour and didn’t save a life, but reminder of the small things that can make a difference. Have been working with a firefighter in the #PMART team who told be he avoids talking to bereaved relatives because he doesn’t know what to say....

....we have been talking about ways to promote dignity in #postdeathcare and ways of showing kindness and compassion despite the PPE. Today he came back from another #COVID death beaming with pride. He told me how he had covered the deceased with a duvet cover and then...

...went to tell the man she wife. She had thanked him, crying and said her husband “had always hated the cold”. She called him an angel and I agree. I see supect she will never forget the kindness he showed her and I he never forgets that #caredoesntendatdeath

Like everyone, I hate this virus. But I am seeing good things - the multi-agency, inter-disciplinary working in the #PMART teams is one of them. Tonight I clapped for all involved @NHSEnglandLDN @metpoliceuk @LondonFire
