Exhibition
11 May – 21 October 2023
The COVID-19 pandemic exposed the personal and professional challenges that nurses and healthcare professionals face every day. The public looked to them as masked heroes but many felt they were just doing their job.
Yet this pandemic, like others before it, exposed the risks taken by nursing professionals at work. Over 850 healthcare workers are thought to have died after contracting COVID-19 in 2020. The pandemic was not equal, impacting on some staff more than others, particularly those from Black, Asian and minority ethnic backgrounds.
This exhibition looks behind the masks, to explore the thoughts, feelings and experiences of nursing staff during this and past pandemics.
