okay welcome to what used to be our
sitting room this is Sofia and she's
doing so much noise this is the grilli's
family Factory their sofas Intelli have
been replaced by a production line of 3d
printers meaning thousands of essential
face visors for the NHS are now being
churned out from a living room in the
North London suburb we're literally up
every two hours in the night to change
over having a baby it's just crazy
this craze I have never worked so hard
Christopher came up with the idea after
a conversation with a friend who like
other GPS has been told to source his
own personal protective equipment for
the surgery the first time in 20-plus
years of being a doctor going in and
worrying about my personal health and
I've never felt that I could put not
only myself but my colleagues at work
and my family at risk if I don't take
the proper precautions keen to do
something practical and help the family
crowdfunded the 3d printers and will
donate them to schools afterwards the
orders have been coming in fast
I've had people on tear in tears on the
phone and talk about worrying about
their child who's a nurse or a doctor or
actual nurses calling up people are
desperate absolutely desperate so we
couldn't not do this what do you think
about this factory here doing a great
thing for the society and the street is
very proud and everybody are very proud
of everything
Christopher normally works on Nissan as
an engineer he's now got the company
involved too so even more visors can be
produced at their Sunderland plant
taking the total to an astonishing 56
thousand a week this is the first batch
produced at the factory just this
morning and his three brothers who are
also engineers have helped adapt the
design which has been approved by the
infection control unit at the local NHS
trust while the children are playing
their part - what do you think Holly
about the woman's out doing this and
being able to help you making your first
delivery to Northrop Park hospital today
there's been an image that's going viral
from the hospital from nurses wearing
bin bags because they can't get access
to PPE how did seeing that picture make
you feel this is quite shocking isn't it
is this quite distressing and I think
it's it feels really important to me to
go and deliver these today and just know
it I mean it won't be enough at the
moment it won't be as much as they leave
but it will keep them going for a few
more days the family have been told some
hospitals will get through around 900
visors a day so the deliveries can't
come in fast enough and they're much
appreciated
today the health secretary said he wants
everyone in a critical role to get the
personal protective equipment they need
yet many health workers still feel in
danger because of the shortage so for
now innovators are trying to do their
bit to keep our NHS workers safe and
these are just some of those now wearing
the Grilli Family visor
