INITIAL RESEARCH: NHS HEROES AND THE YARE GALLERY
NHS -
The NHS is a government-funded national healthcare system based in England where a diverse range of
different organization with different roles, responsibilities, and specialties provide care services for
unwell or injured people.
The current aims and objectives of the NHS can be referenceable by their 7 key principles. They aim to
provide comprehensive services to all irrespective of sex, race, disability, age, sexual orientation, gender
reassignment status, and religious beliefs, an aim to respect a patient’s basic human rights and a
promotion of social equality that is affordable for taxpayers. The NHS aspires to the highest standards of
excellence and professionalism – high quality care that is effective and focused on patient’s experience,
whilst reflecting the needs and preferences of patients, families and carers.
Contemporary projects of the NHS include an integrated musculoskeletal service where increasing level
of demands and variation in referrals and managements of MSK conditions can be managed –
supporting an overall case for change. There is also a project for ‘connected care,’ a new system
developed for sharing information about a patient’s medical condition across various health and social
care organizations; this is helpful so patient’s don’t have to go through a repetitive process of explaining
their issues upon a new health professional interaction.

NHS Portraits -
Artist tom croft partnered with the NHS to launch a virtual exhibition titled “portraits for NHS heroes”.
This showcased fifteen portraits of NHS workers that were taken during the covid-19crisis. Fifteen artists
collaborated on this all which members of the Contemporary British Portrait Painters (CBPP). This
display that was available exclusively online was installed and scanned at fitzrovia chapel in London. The
exhibition exists to celebrate frontline workers and raise money for NHS charities.
“We heard about Tom Croft’s campaign and wanted to help support our NHS with the amazing work
that they are doing. So, we outreached to turn the portraits into a virtual gallery experience while we're
in lockdown. We wanted to be able to share the online exhibition with the nation and get behind these
individual stories, so that people could enjoy them from the safety of their own homes. We were
fortunate enough to bring this all together within a few weeks. We are thankful to the artists and key
workers for their involvement to highlight this great cause.”-Stuart henry founder of the net gallery
