For the Christmas maximalists among us all (ahem: @RobertaBivins...)
If you haven't already put up your #ChristmasTree maybe you can take some inspiration from these nurses from the German Hospital (SBHG/HP/6/3/13). Remember, when it comes to decorations, more is definitely more!

Analysing the surveys from this joint project, and there's something so emotional and quietly devastating about all the little hearts and smiley faces in the margins, next to the desperate concerns about the future of the NHS and bleak conditions staff work under.
Did you know that Elizabeth Blackwell was the first woman on the Medical Register for the UK?
Featuring figures linked to the NHS, this celebratory card is being used to collect stories @uhbwNHS as part of the @ournhstories project.

We've got a big birthday coming up & we'd like you to help us celebrate!
Used our collections (in person or online) & got a favourite document? Tell us about it at warwick.ac.uk/services/libra… - we're looking for 50 documents to feature in our anniversary exhibition / publication!
ALT Text saying "Modern Records Centre: Celebrating 50 years" with a composite image of documents from MRC collections.
Librarians and archivists across the country make projects like the People's History of the NHS possible! From fab traditional sources like these to the @britishlibrary where @NHSat70's amazing collection lives, to @lhseul and the NHS workers' treasure trove @MRCWarwick --
The Crichton Archives, owned by the NHS and cared for by @DumGalLibraries, tells so many stories. These images are some of the earliest in the collection, shedding light on the foundation of the Asylum, its patients, and their lives @NHSHistory_
And these are, or could and should be the laboratories we need to health policy making: this is where we can see what generations of smart, expert, and compassionate health workers of all kinds have tried in the past AND discover whether their strategies worked!
