For many healthcare professionals, working over Christmas is a given. The thought of working at this time of year can be galling for many but, as Dr Jenny Hughes wrote, it can be the most uplifting time to work.
Teams of staff can pull together and bond over boxes of chocolates on the ward and canteen Christmas dinners. And the odd Christmas miracle may happen, be it the birth of a baby, saving someone’s life or even just being there to listen.
