Celebrating the NHS

From poems to memoirs to a collection of personal stories, these brilliant books chronicle the realities of daily life working on the NHS front line. With perspectives ranging across different roles in the health service, from a midwife’s autobiography, to a doctor’s experience of working in intensive care, and even a virtuosic ‘film-poem’ depicting 24 hours in the service, they are by turns heart-rendering and inspirational, and a fantastic showcase of the vital role played by our health workers.
