In these unprecedented times, we wanted to make the position of Heart of England absolutely clear to our team.

We/you provide vital frontline services to ‘dependent/vulnerable’ people with learning disabilities.

It is important we continue to work and provide this essential service. By continuing to work you are saving lives. Your work is of national importance to ensure our hospital services are not overrun and beds and health staff are available to treat critical cases. We are as critical as the NHS and provide vital support to the learning disability community. The NHS will stay open and we must too.
