Staff who came forward to join the Vaccination programme workforce have played a vital role in improving the health of local people. It is not an understatement to say we could not have vaccinated the community at the rate we did without them.
They brought energy, enthusiasm, and skills from other careers and walks of life. For many, we hope this is just the beginning of a career in health and social care - and we want to make that transition easy.
