installation
In late Summer 2008 I was asked to tender for a very interesting project at my local NHS hospital.
A very very long corridor which linked the main public area of the hospital and the maternity unit was being re-decorated and it was proposed that 22 large exhibition panels showing the entire history of the facility be designed and produced and hung along the length of the space.
I was lucky enough to win the pitch and set about sourcing images for the project and designing the panels. I worked very closely with all the stakeholders to produce 22 large panels which told the story of the hospital, from its humble beginnings, to the present day as a major international teaching hospital.

Nick worked with us on a project to animate the hospital’s archives to create an accessible, large-scale permanent exhibition in the main hospital corridor charting the history of medicine in Cambridge and of Addenbrooke’s hospital.
The project involved working with a range of partners including the hospital archivist, photographers, Estates & Facilities, the hospital’s communications team and representatives from the Medical Research Council. Nick approached the project with gusto, rapidly coming up with a design solution and nursing this design through a series of complications and challenges.
The final exhibition provides a contemporary take on a challenging subject which is visually appealing and intellectually stimulating and is a vibrant antidote to the worthy, wordy displays used for so many history projects in the NHS and elsewhere.
