for honest and vulnerable conversations" around mental health. riot police in bristol have moved in on around 200 protesters who are demonstrating against rent prices. there were scuffles tonight as they were moved on. it comes after a protest on sunday over reforms to a new policing law led to violence in the city. tributes have been paid to the former england striker, frank worthington, who has died at the age of 72 after a long illness. during his career, worthington made more than 200 appearances for leicester city. we finish tonight, on this day of reflection, with four staff from university hospital southampton who've spent the year on the front line. they explain the impact of the last 12 months on their professional and personal lives. there were some days when you had to verify death after death, and it was really hard to detach from it. i have had a lot of mum guilt
10:31 pm
and a lot of professional guilt. the doctors told my family that - i have only 40% chances of survival. covid has taught me to be more supportive with each other, and kindness, kindness, kindness. i need you to open those eyes for me. a year of high stress. every patient that comes through the door, you don't know how they're going to be, and how quickly they're going to deteriorate. and then, come home at the end of a 14—hour day and, "wait, no, don't touch me, don't hug me" to the people you just want to melt into, because you've got to go upstairs and scrub your body. are you coming to sit with me? 0k, we'll do it together. come on, then. the children would get
10:32 pm
into the habit of then asking me, "is it safe to cuddle you, mummy?" 48, 50! being made to start in the middle of a pandemic, and having to learn on the job, and having to adapt to a new city and a new culture, that's taught me so much, and i've learnt so quickly. do you know why you're in hospital? covid. yeah, covid. we had 15 deaths in two weeks. we would normally have maybe five in a year. - so, for the team, | that is quite hard. are you allergic to anything? i was tested positive for covid—19. it was a very weird experience when the ambulance took me to my own workplace and my own work colleagues were looking after me. and i had way much more chances to leave the hospital in a body bag, rather than on my own feet. my little soldier, because he's been through the wars. - my most challenging - moments are in my social life, personal life... yeah... because at work, you put on that
10:33 pm
|uniform, you have that persona. | and the fact that i've got links with the covid patients, - i've kept away from everybody. my husband's had to sit and just hold me while i cry and worry, and i don't normally do that. i normallyjust come home, and i come home to my babies and we live our life to the full. i live alone, so it's stilljust me thinking about work. it's difficult, not having the support of my family members, but it's quite hard to detach and get on with my life just at home, before you get back to work and do the same thing again. i decided to stand up from the wheelchair and to salute them as a sign of gratitude towards everything that they have done for me and my family. go... i took proper time to chat with as many people as possible. i have started to show when i'm not ok. i don't think i've had any choice but to stand up and say, i haven't been 0k.
10:34 pm
we all need to look for support, and if you can't get it face - to face with your family, - you need to look at other areas. i try to speak to someone, tell them how i'm feeling, do a work—out, try to do some mindfulness. what i'm looking forward to most is developing a social life. 0h! i think for every mum, dad, human being, we need to start getting back to normality. i'm looking forward to going to see my family and having a cup of tea i with my mum out of my special mug. we are not dreaming of sandy beaches. we just really want to see our family and our parents. i can't wait to hug. i can't wait to hug my family. refelections from the front line on this day of remembrance. that's it.
