The exhibition draws on the personal stories of nurses and patients from Guy's and St Thomas' Hospitals, and the Evelina Children's Hospital to reflect the changing face of hospital life across the decades. Among the contributors are Tony Benn; Gill Hicks, survivor of the 7/7 London bombings, and one of the nurses who cared for her, Louise Danks. |
