The Welding Institute would like to thank the existing 600 (and continually growing number of) engineers and technicians that have volunteered and stepped up to support NHS and other frontline workers to deliver frontline services throughout the Covid-19 crisis.

The engineers and technicians who have volunteered are playing a vital role in supporting the frontline services through their roles as Post-Holders at a designated site. The responsibilities within this role involve overseeing the delivery of support with medical equipment management services at Nightingale field hospitals across the UK.

For more information about how you can get involved with volunteering to support the frontline service please check out The Royal Academy Of Engineering’s section on ‘Engineering response to COVID-19: can you help?’
