What have your experiences during the pandemic with the local healthcare system been like?
When we asked expats and global nomads in UK about their experiences during the pandemic with the local healthcare system, they replied...
"The pandemic has had a huge impact on the local healthcare system in England. Many hospitals have had to make difficult decisions about how to manage the influx of patients, while also ensuring that staff are safe and protected. GP surgeries have had to adapt to new ways of working, such as offering virtual appointments and telephone consultations. The NHS has also had to rapidly increase its capacity to provide testing and treatment for Covid-19. Despite the challenges, the NHS has continued to provide excellent care to those who need it, and the public have been incredibly supportive of the healthcare system during this difficult time," remarked another expat in UK.
"I will be getting my first vaccine tomorrow at the age of 59. The UK has done an excellent job with the vaccine," said a member in London, UK.
