A shortlist consisting of 75 NHS staff and volunteers has been released in a photography competition to mark 75 years of the NHS.

Shortlisted images include one Britain’s oldest volunteer, 102-year-old Beryl Carr, and a patient playing the violin during her brain surgery.

The national competition is being run by NHS England in partnership with Fujifilm UK.

The 75 shortlisted photographs will be displayed at an exhibition at Fujifilm House of Photography in Covent Garden, London and will be open to public viewing from the 5th July 2023 - the NHS's 75th birthday.

The judging panel is made up of Dame Ruth May, Chief Nursing Officer for England, This Morning’s resident GP Dr Ellie, journalist Victoria Macdonald, photographer Lewis Khan, Dr Habib Naqvi MBE and Fujifilm’s Theo Georghiades.

There will be one winner announced from each of the five categories: Our People; Our Innovations; Our Environment; Our Care; and Our Partners.

Dame Ruth May, Chief Nursing Officer for England and one of the six competition judges, said: “We were amazed at the quality of photographs submitted to the competition – it’s incredible to see the way entrants have documented life in the NHS. The compassion, the ingenuity, the camaraderie, the good times and when it gets tough – it’s all captured throughout the five categories and it’s a really fitting way to mark 75 years of the NHS.”
