For the Christmas maximalists among us all (ahem: @RobertaBivins...)

[Barts Health Archives @BHAandM]

If you haven't already put up your #ChristmasTree maybe you can take some inspiration from these nurses from the German Hospital (SBHG/HP/6/3/13). Remember, when it comes to decorations, more is definitely more!

#50ObjectFriday Object 15, chosen by @StageKirstie, is the National Union of the Deaf's 'Blueprint for the Future', found in the @The_TUC collection here at the MRC. Kirstie described the NUD as a 'fascinating and important' case study for modern British history

Analysing the surveys from this joint project, and there's something so emotional and quietly devastating about all the little hearts and smiley faces in the margins, next to the desperate concerns about the future of the NHS and bleak conditions staff work under.

AI and Self-Service Technology are the latest chapters in the age-old battle between Humans and Mechanisation. The image below is from a 1936 pamphlet found among the archives of the TGWU.

🏥NHS Trusts did not last long in Scotland, abolished by @ScotParl in 2004 although the internal market continues in England with commissioning groups & providers. Read on from @historycompany here:

Eep, on @HistoryHit with @thehistoryguy talking about the creation of the NHS https://t.co/0I7E409vVX @GeogBristol

We've got a big birthday coming up & we'd like you to help us celebrate!

Used our collections (in person or online) & got a favourite document? Tell us about it at https://t.co/aTIlrTjqAG - we're looking for 50 documents to feature in our anniversary exhibition / publication!

Let's STOP reinventing the wheel expensively and destructively, demoralising NHS staff and all of us who depend on them!

[NHS History @NHSHistory_]

Librarians and archivists across the country make projects like the People's History of the NHS possible! From fab traditional sources like these to the @britishlibrary where @NHSat70's amazing collection lives, to @lhseul and the NHS workers' treasure trove @MRCWarwick --

[Crichton Royal Heritage @Crichton_Royal]

The Crichton Archives, owned by the NHS and cared for by @DumGalLibraries, tells so many stories. These images are some of the earliest in the collection, shedding light on the foundation of the Asylum, its patients, and their lives @NHSHistory_

[NHS History @NHSHistory_]

And these are, or could and should be the laboratories we need to health policy making: this is where we can see what generations of smart, expert, and compassionate health workers of all kinds have tried in the past AND discover whether their strategies worked!

[Warwick MRC @MRCWarwick]

The National Asylum Workers' Union magazine is a great source on the "Battle of Radcliffe Asylum" (including the 1922 sacking of all asylum hospital staff when they went on strike)

Digitised and online at https://t.co/CiGQlGjsu4 !

@sexhistorian And a great thing it is too: wild women, well-outside of the M25, NHS workers and workings, plus, best of ALL!!: truly terrible primary source puns. How could we resist?

[Andrew Seaton @AndrewSeaton]

It's publication day for OUR NHS. Thanks to my family, friends, colleagues, and the wonderful team at Yale who supported me over the many years of writing my first book. Available in all good bookshops!
