Our National Health Stories has been developed from a programme of creative story gathering across all trusts in summer 2023.
These stories have been curated into an extraordinary national performance for staff, developed by Artistic Director Kwame Kwei-Armah and his creative team.
On 22 November 2023, staff from 19 hospital trusts shared their stories in an unprecedented day of performances in hospitals, through music, poetry, dance, theatre, visual art and more in their hospitals.
