Watch patients, staff and local people share their compelling stories of Park Hospital, now known as Trafford General Hospital, birthplace of the NHS in our short film.
From early memories of health care and pre-NHS experiences to the challenges of community care now, the stories shared illustrate the unique place of the NHS in everyday life.
These short films have been created by young people who trained as Community Reporters to both share and gather stories about people’s lived experience of the NHS.
On the 70th anniversary of the arrival of the Windrush we explore the history of black and minority ethnic staff (BAME) working in the NHS through their voices.
Explore the rich diversity of NHS history through people’s voices. These are a taster of the oral histories recorded by our volunteers in South Wales and Greater Manchester.
Stories from patients, staff, volunteers and campaigners and items from our collections bring to life the development of the NHS throughout its first 70 years.
