Former NHS workers describe what motivated them to return for the Covid vaccination programme.
By Vanessa PearceThousands of retired NHS workers answered an urgent call by the government to go back to work as the Covid-19 pandemic threatened to overwhelm hospitals. Two years on, many of them are still there. The BBC spoke to some about their unwavering need to help.
Mrs Millership is one of about 10,000 former workers who signed up to help and are continuing to work in the NHS as the country prepares for another surge of Covid cases this winter.Her first role was vaccinating care home residents before working at a centre in Bedworth for the Coventry and Warwickshire Partnership NHS Trust .
"I never ever dreamt in a billion years I'd be ever part of anything like that, I thought I'd retired and that was the end for me. In my career I didn't think I'd have another job doing something so incredible. Initially just "checking in and chatting to people," she said she soon saw she could play a bigger role.
She explained she had now worked over 1,000 hours and completed many hours of training - sufficient to regain her permanent nursing registration.
