Our NHS at 75 – shortlist announced
We are delighted to announce the shortlisted photos from the ‘Our NHS at 75’ photo competition, in partnership with Fujifilm.
The striking images display the extraordinary talent of our NHS staff, and those who work or volunteer alongside them.
One of the images features Britain’s oldest volunteer 102-year-old Beryl Carr, who can recall the very first day the NHS came into existence.
Among the other entries there are striking images capturing a patient playing a violin while undergoing brain surgery, a pharmacy robot, air ambulances and those documenting the NHS’ incredible COVID-19 vaccination effort. Entries were judged by a star-studded panel including This Morning’s resident GP Dr Ellie, award winning journalist Victoria Macdonald, eminent photographer Lewis Khan, Dr Habib Naqvi MBE, Fujifilm’s Theo Georghiades and Chief Nursing Officer for England, Dame Ruth May.
The competition saw hundreds of photos entered by staff and volunteers across five categories, including:
- Our care – this category captures that core value – whether that is the care we provide our patients, or to each other as colleagues.
- Our environment – this category explores NHS grounds and buildings – indoors and out – and how individuals, teams and communities are working together to integrate sustainability into what we do.
- Our innovations – this category celebrates innovation across the NHS in all its forms – from cutting edge treatments to pioneering ways of delivering care.
- Our partners – this category celebrates the crucial role those partnerships play in helping us deliver the best possible care for patients.
- Our people – this category recognises the individuals and teams that make up who we are.
Each of the 75 shortlisted photographers have been invited to the launch event of ‘Our NHS at 75’ on the 4 July at the Fujifilm House of Photography, where the competition winners will also be announced.
The 75 photographs will be displayed at an exhibition at Fujifilm House of Photography in Covent Garden, London and will be open to public viewing from the 5 July – 75 years to the day from the date that the NHS was established.
The five winners will also have their photograph displayed at the NHS 75th anniversary service at Westminster Abbey on Wednesday 5th July.
