What the petition asks

Introduce a nationally recognised day to honour the work carried out all NHS staff. A permanent reminder of their lasting dedication to the country and it’s people.
“National NHS Worker appreciation Day”.

Given the current dedication, bravery and care, that all staff across all NHS platforms have shown at this time of crisis, there deserves to be a permanent reminder and day to recognise their hard work.
The NHS staff are caring for us, now it is time for us to show our care back.
