Bluegrass supports Critical NHS

Digital solutions provider Bluegrass Digital has offered it services to support Critical NHS, a volunteer-led organisation born out of the Covid-19 pandemic. Critical NHS was set-up to provide support to the critical care front line staff at St George’s Hospital in London, and it is now quickly growing to support 16 hospitals across London over the coming few weeks and months.

Bluegrass has developed the Critical NHS website and will continue to offer free support on Azure Cloud Services, Microsoft 365 and the website.

Critical NHS is delivering regular lunchtime and evening meals to feed the critical care nurses and other front line staff. It also provides support for car parking fees and hotel rooms for those staff who would not otherwise be in a position to work.

Bluegrass Digital CEO Nick Durrant says the economic effect of the COVID-19 crisis has hit everyone and many businesses have had to close their doors as countries go into lockdown. “Now more than ever, it is in times such as this that everyone needs to show leadership and support wherever they can. When asked for help, we answered the call.”

“This is critical to feeding the doctors and nurses dealing with the influx of coronavirus patients. Critical NHS makes sure these critical care staff don’t have to think about where their next meal is coming from while on duty, or to worry about shopping and cooking when they come off duty.”

“There is another side to this which is also critical to understand. Not only is the charity supporting the front line staff, but it is also supporting the local community of shops, restaurants and businesses reeling from the impact of the pandemic and lockdown.
