This exhibition has been created by the Faculty of Health and Social Care Historical Society volunteers and refurbished with the generous help of the Heritage Lottery Fund and Big Heritage. Visitors with an interest in health and social care or local and social history are always welcome to visit the Museum and find out more from the volunteers, many of whom have a healthcare background.

Please maintain social distancing and hand-hygiene and do not attend if you are feeling unwell or have tested positive for Covid19 in the last seven days. If you do decide not to wear a face covering, please respect others who choose to do so, especially in the confined space of the museum.
