Volunteers needed for an exciting national public history project!
Are you interested in people? Are you a good listener? Would you like to play a part in creating a shared national story of the NHS.
NHS at 70 will capture the stories and artefacts of those who worked for and were cared for by this unique institution, creating a digital archive of NHS history.
The NHS 70th anniversary in 2018 is a perfect opportunity to celebrate its past and reflect on its present and future. Since 1948 the NHS has had a central place in everyday British life. Created to provide free and universal access to healthcare, it shapes the experiences of birth, life, health, sickness and death for the majority of the public and is also the UK's largest employer.
NHS at 70 is supported by the Heritage Lottery Fund and our partners include: Age UK, Mental Health Foundation, Rethink Mental Illness, Stroke Association, Bridgend Association of Voluntary Organisations, NHS England, NHS Confederation and the TUC.
