Collaboration like never before - a birthday thank you to industry colleagues
As NHSX turns one and the NHS marks another year, an extraordinary year, of caring for those we love, I’d like to thank the hundreds of digital tech companies that have pledged their support to the COVID-19 response.
Frontline workers continue to do incredible work in the most difficult of circumstances that 12 months ago would have seemed almost unimaginable. Their dedication demands and deserves the same level of tenacity and skill in coming together as a sector, from digital start-ups to established brands, to be a force for good.
Right now people need digital technology more than ever and I’m grateful for the hard work and determination of NHSX staff and countless others to make this happen. This appreciation is only matched by my anxiety that the following thank you list may not be exhaustive given the numerous offers of support we’ve received.
