A DROITWICH photographer has had two of her pictures featured in a major exhibition to mark the 75th birthday of the NHS.
Laura Abbatiello has had her work featured at ‘Our NHS at 75′ online gallery and at a free exhibition at the Fujifilm House of Photography in London’s Covent Garden.
Laura is a clinical photographer at Birmingham Dental Hospital in her day job.
Staff and volunteers were invited to submit photos depicting a part of their personal NHS story across five categories – people, innovations, environment, care and partners.
From then, 75 personal pictures have been chosen- one for every year the NHS has been active.
Entries were judged by a panel including the chief nursing officer for England, Dame Ruth May, This Morning’s resident GP Dr Ellie Cannon and NHS Race and Health Observatory chief executive Dr Habib Naqvi.
Dame Ruth said: “The NHS can do nothing without its incredible workforce – it is thanks to the skill and dedication of hundreds of thousands of staff and volunteers that the NHS is the much-loved institution that it is today.
“Joining the NHS is one of the best decisions I’ve ever made, and, as we mark the 75th year of the NHS, this competition provides an opportunity to celebrate the extraordinary skill and diversity of NHS staff and volunteers.”
The exhibition will be available to view until the end of August.
