“We hope that these kind of things that make the boxes so special.”
While former GP Mark Ford added: “I’m acutely aware of the pressures faced by those who work in Primary Care.
“Unfortunately, the Covid pandemic has not only increased pressures that already existed, but has also radically changed the face of General Practice.
“The work of GP practices has never stopped and they have continued to work tirelessly to provide high quality care for their patients.
“This involved facing challenges head-on as they adapted to new ways of working and I have nothing but praise and admiration for them.
“These boxes are a collaborative project between the Staff Wellbeing Service and Tayside Health Fund and represent are a small token of appreciation for the work done by all GP practice staff throughout Tayside.
“Our hope is that they might help people feel valued in the work they do and, even in some small way, brighten their day.”
