Pandemic Stations: DR DOMINIC PIMENTA talks life on the NHS frontline

Coronavirus has changed life as we know it, especially for those who work in our health service. Dr Dominic Pimenta resigned from the NHS over Dominic Cummings’ lockdown trip to Durham, and his new book ‘Duty of Care’, describes the brutal experience of working on the COVID-19 frontline. Dominic tells Alex Andreou about his work in the NHS during the pandemic, from the initial murmurings coming out of China to full-throated lockdown here in Britain. His story, along with many others in the NHS, is one of heroism and sacrifice. 

“Everyone was doing double time and taking on duty after duty.”

“When needs must, the NHS was there.”

“How do we get people to believe in the same facts?”

“As a doctor, you’re not taught particularly well how to deal with your patient’s grief, or your own.”
