Officially Honour Frontline Workers (Bravery Awards)

Rejected 11 signatures

What the petition asks

I wish the Government to officially honour our gallant NHS and all frontline care workers for the unprecedented work they carry/carried out. Wartime heroes were honoured for acts above the call of duty, often without the appropriate equipment, same as our health sector workers now.

I would expect nothing less from Government, your chance to further unite with the nation. This is something you can run with, further inspiring up and coming medical professionals to actually feel truly appreciated and not just a nameless face. Without these people there is a chance this country could have faced Armageddon. We should never forget those that have already fallen to COVID19.
