About this project

These Are The Hands is an anthology of poems by NHS staff.

We love the NHS. We met NHS staff, recorded their poems and heard their stories. Join in!

Live poetry written & read by NHS staff

At 8:15pm on Thursday 21st May 2020 we hosted a live reading of poems from These Are The Hands anthology, performed by their authors online.

Say thank you to our NHS staff by listening, really listening, to their stories.
