“Grateful to AAC for their speed, agility and commitment to members over the weekend all the work done by members for members. My AAC letter to update my status on my GP’s records as a healthcare professional. The status and formal recognition by the NHS as front-line workers during this pandemic is such a huge mental shift on a personal and professional level and I just wanted to acknowledge it!”
