These are just some of the compliments being shared online for Sunderland Royal Hospital nurse Emma Dalton, after she spent her free time writing thank you notes to colleagues working on the NHS frontline.
The 25-year-old was inspired by last week’s first Clap for Carers initiative, which will now take place every Thursday at 8pm, to applaud NHS staff in her own way for their hard work and dedication during the coronavirus pandemic.
