SalutetheNHS.org will provide catering support to hospitals around the country during the next three months. Nutritious and ready to eat meals will be made available free of charge to Intensive Care Unit teams, anaesthetic teams and A&E staff, who are unable to leave their clinical areas during their 12 hour shifts, which is the protocol being adopted by all COVID-19 designated hospitals. This will allow them to stay close to wards at all times without having to change out of protective clothing.
The initiative, spearheaded by businessman Ron Dennis, is a collaboration between the Dennis Foundation, Tesco, Absolute Taste, Yodel and several other logistical and groceries businesses.
Nigel Sprunt, international marketing director at Withers, said: ‘Withers is proud to be part of this amazing initiative to support those brave men and women on the front line of the NHS, who are working so hard to protect us all.’
