Tune in to BBC Radio 4 at 9pm tonight for a special programme, ‘The NHS at 75: Covid Memories’ inspired by Our National Health Stories.

Over the past few years in hospitals, GP surgeries, care homes, on A&E wards and in operating theatres, doctors and nurses were trying to save lives. And they wrote about it all – in poems, prose, diary entries, small observations on the back of envelopes. Now you can hear this testimony – thoughtful, moving, scared, despairing, hopeful and proud. Featuring contributions from staff in some of the 19 NHS trusts taking part.
