Coronavirus Diptychs - Doctors at NHS Hospital dealing with the coronavirus pandemic. Paramedic Sarah Blanchard works with Essex ambulance service. Photographed at Whipps Cross Hospital, in London.

"A crucial part of my job is to calm and reassure the terrified people whose lives we are trying to save. As we speed to the hospital in the back of an ambulance, I hold their hands during what is one of the most frightening times in their lives. What I can’t bear about treating those infected with Covid-19 is having to keep my distance as their panic-stricken eyes search my face for signs of what’s to come. The truth is, I don’t know. Nobody does. Some of the patients I have taken to hospital have got better, some of them have not."

Coronavirus Diptychs - Doctors at NHS Hospitals dealing with the coronavirus pandemic.Intensive Care Unit doctor Janitha Gowribalan works at The Whittington Hospital, in London.

"A man in his 50's is struggling to breathe, so we have to quickly make lifesaving, unavoidable decisions to induce a coma and place him on a ventilator. He’s frightened and asking for us to ring his wife and children. He’s struggling to speak through his tight-fitted mask but, if he takes it off, his oxygen levels will plummet. It’s upsetting telling him it’s not possible for us to call his family now. I think about how terrified I would feel if I couldn’t speak to my parents in his position. We have to act fast as his oxygen levels dramatically fall when we induce the coma – this is normal and we expect it, but it still feels frightening. If it falls too low, a person can go into respiratory or cardiac arrest."

"The coronavirus death rate in this country is going up by the day and we – the NHS workers – are worried. There’s a huge sense of sadness and trepidation among us all. Colleagues are messaging me at 2am saying their minds are whizzing and they can’t sleep. On my way home from the hospital, I call ahead to tell my family not to let my two little girls, who are five and six, run up to hug me at the door. Before I can be with them, I have to shower and wash my clothes. All the time I’m terrified of spreading the infection to the people I love."

Marsha - Condensed Milk (Tropical Sun) -

“I live in Fulham and I come once a month to shop at Nour. I buy things in bulk for my family back in Jamaica and send it back in a container. Today I bought 3 cases of Condensed Milk for them. It’s actually cheaper to buy it here and ship than just buying it there. I also buy other Jamaican food, like Plantain crisps or Spiced bun. Also, they always help me take the food to my car, that’s just really good customer service.I use the condensed milk in coffee or in a porridge and its great in a Guinness Punch”.
