Humans of Health Research
The AHSC has been showcasing the people behind research that seeks to improve health for all through a photography-led exhibition called ‘Humans of Health Research’. The exhibition showcases NHS staff from across the partnership working in a range of medical specialities and roles, alongside their patients who have benefited from the research work.
Each portrait features interviews with the subjects who talk about why they do research, key highlights, and advice for future researchers. Patients also talk about the reasons why they got involved in research, their experiences, and how these have changed their health and lives.
The team behind the exhibition hope to inspire healthcare staff and patients in the AHSC and beyond to get involved with research.
