We are firstly incredible proud and thankful for the work undertaken by the senior team at the homes, Wisbech PCN, the NHS and Local CCG in starting the process of vaccinating the residents and staff. Throughout this pandemic, the safety and wellbeing, both physically and emotionally, of residents and our teams have been at the heart of everything we do, making this moment so special and very emotional.
