He praised the service\u2019s \u201cdedicated staff,\u201d while NHS England&#8217;s chief executive Simon Stevens announced \u201c<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">this is just the start, and we will set out further support offers over the coming days and weeks,\u00a0 to ensure the NHS looks after those who look after all of us.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This was the hour of need in England\u2019s struggle with coronavirus, when NHS workers were thrown into the limelight. It was the time of Clap for our Carers, Healthcare Heroes, and Save Our NHS. Petitions appeared on social media asking the government to consider pay rises for key workers, and local businesses offered discounts for NHS staff. Promises were made, expectations were high. Now we are told that this small perk, a basic necessity in many other industries, is <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/inews.co.uk\/news\/politics\/nhs-workers-pay-parking-hospitals-explained-coronavirus-crisis-498590\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">likely going to be taken away from us<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">To some, the issue around whether you have to pay to park at your place of work may seem small.\u00a0 But to many healthcare workers, it is a big matter. The withdrawal of this workplace benefit may signify not only more pressure on the wages of some low paid key workers, but also the start of a reversal of the basic respect and acknowledgement, which we as healthcare staff had only started to build.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">I fully understand some of the reasons behind the charges. In some hospitals, space is at a premium. Charging staff to park may encourage public transport use, and these charges generate an income for already cash strapped hospitals (although hospitals in the devolved nations manage to avoid the need for this).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">But it is not as simple as that. As a doctor in training my workplace rotates every six months, with each new hospital post being up to an hour\u2019s drive away from the last. Public transport systems, especially outside of London, leave much to be desired and working irregular shift patterns would mean long journeys alone late at night. For hospitals with limited space, a permit system could still operate without charges. And it seems a lamentable indication of the state of our NHS if we have to rely on revenue from staff and patients attending hospital to fund life saving services.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">However, this is not just an argument about car parking. This is about how healthcare workers are valued. While we were superheroes, we were given supermarket discounts, free food, and no end of encouragement in the form of rainbow posters. Now, as we start to emerge from this crisis, in no small part due to the efforts of NHS staff, covid-19 is fast becoming an irritation to the general public rather than a fear. Already we are beginning to forget the panic of not having enough hospital beds or ventilators; the dread of the climbing mortality rate. The lifesaving role we played three months ago is fading into an anecdote; we are no longer at the forefront of people\u2019s minds. We are slowly returning to how we always have been, and once again we are being forgotten.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">It might be said that the reintroduction of car parking charges is a resumption of normality as the covid-19 crisis recedes. But this normality, for the NHS, is being underappreciated and under-resourced. Already we have seen our <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/rcni.com\/nursing-standard\/newsroom\/news\/covid-19-health-secretary-draws-fire-refusing-to-commit-to-future-nurse-pay-rise-161191\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">health secretary avoid guaranteeing<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> wage rises for nurses.\u00a0 We have served our purpose, we have saved lives, and now we are on course to go back to how things always were. Rescinding parking charges is not just about a few pounds a day. It is about how a government that eagerly applauded us on the steps of Number 10 is happy to forget and slip back into old habits. NHS workers are reduced to no more than a PR puppet: brought out when the going gets tough, then thrown away again when we have served our purpose.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">We as healthcare workers must guard against this thin end of a wedge. This crisis has shown how the NHS is vital for the nation\u2019s survival. We must not let public appreciation of us slip away, but capitalise on it to insist on decent funding for the work of NHS staff, on becoming a central part of the government\u2019s regeneration programme, and on taking our place at the centre of the nation again.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong>Jennifer Darlow<\/strong> is a haematology ST5 trainee in the North West Deanery.
