“The principle is simple. Care should happen as locally as it can.”

It’s good to hear this from We Streeting (@rthonwesstreeting.bsky.social).👏 Too many terminally ill people are being rushed to hospital in a crisis because they can’t get the care they need at home.

This has to change.

The photo is part of our new London exhibition, The Art of Nursing, which presents art by and about nurses - revealing how they have been mythologised, usually as female, predominantly as white. It explores the role of art in constructing and resisting stereotypes: buff.ly/vZGtbfa.
