We are fighting a war against the coronavirus.

When we eventually win, we need to have a medal ready to issue and award to honour the frontline staff - careworkers and all ancillaries, including, of course, posthumous awards.

It should carry a ribbon, one half blue and white to represent health workers and the other half could be a Rainbow.

It needs to carry an inscription/citation.

A suggestion would be to use the NHS initials.

This could be along the lines of another famous speech, delivered in a time of national crisis.

Hence: “Never have so many depended on the dedication, humanity and talent of all frontline participants. Our gratitude will know no bounds.”
