Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust

As part of the Trusts activities, Artist in residence, creative writer Susan Hunter Downer came across an intriguing folder full of collected stories from retired workers from the 1950’s onwards at the Heritage Site at the Northern General Hospital, part of Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. This fascinating collection inspired Susan to write a poem about one the hospital’s first consultants.
