Prince William and Kate Middleton Visit London Ambulance Service Control Room Amid Coronavirus Pandemic
visited the London Ambulance Service 111 control room in Croydon on Thursday. There, they met with staff members who have been fielding NHS 111 calls from the public and thanked them for their hard work amid the global coronavirus pandemic.
"The last few weeks, and more recent days, have been understandably concerning with the continuing spread of coronavirus," the Duke of Cambridge said in a statement."But it's at times like this when we realize just how much the NHS represents the very best of our country and society–people from all backgrounds and walks of life with different experiences and skills, pulling together for the common good.
"Our staff are working incredibly hard in all four of our call centers, taking more than twice as many calls as usual," London Ambulance Service CEOsaid in a statement."It has therefore been an incredible boost to staff to be able to meet with The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. Their Royal Highnesses spoke to some of our 111 call handlers and clinicians who are extraordinarily busy as we work hard to support Londoners and the wider NHS.
William and Kate also learned about ways members of the public can help alleviate this kind of pressure by visiting the nhs.uk/coronavirus website before contacting 111. "It was also brilliant to see the great online tools for those with mild symptoms or worries." William continued in his statement."All of us have a part to play if we're going to protect the most vulnerable. That means acting on the latest expert advice, staying home if we or those we live with have symptoms, and avoiding non-essential contact to help reduce the spread of the virus.
