Boots UK is helping to support the NHS staff working on the front line at Nottingham’s Queen’s Medical Centre (QMC) with a donation of over 500 toiletries and hygiene products.

The donation, which arrived at Queen’s Medical Centre on Wednesday 25 March, included hundreds of toothpastes, shower gels, shampoos and deodorants to ensure the incredibly hardworking team have access to hygiene essentials and vital wash stations between busy shifts.

Seb James, Managing Director of Boots UK, commented, “During this time of unprecedented challenge for the team at Queen’s Medical Centre, we wanted to show our appreciation for the world-class care the NHS provides for the people of Nottingham every single day, many of whom are Boots colleagues and customers.”
