Health workers praised in NHS love letter exhibition

A group of artists have paid tribute to health service workers with specially written love letters to the NHS.

The North Yorkshire Calligraphers group have created an exhibition of work on display in the spirituality centre at the University Hospital of North Tees.

The work is aimed at showing gratitude to the health service for its work during the COVID-19 pandemic.

In a message alongside the display, the group says: “A Love Letter to our NHS” is just one group of people using something they enjoy (calligraphy) as a vehicle to express what they have always felt about the NHS, but have felt with greater intensity than ever before during the past six months.

“It is just our way of saying ‘Thank You’, not simply that we have the healthcare system we do, but that there are thousands upon thousands of people who make that system function for everyone’s benefit day-by-day, sometimes at great cost to themselves. We love the NHS and we love the people who make it real – and we want you to know how much you mean to us.”
