Background : Salisbury District Hospital’s ArtCare team has been awarded a £40,000 grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) to record and improve access to its collection of historical archives, memorabilia and medical equipment, through exhibitions, workshops, talks and permanent displays. The collection includes photographs, video, artwork and medical objects that give a distinctive view of Salisbury and the way healthcare has developed from 1700 to the present day.

The second phase of this project is to create a website to share these collection items with the public. ArtCare need your help, to shape the way the website looks and let us know what aspects of these interesting and unique stories you would like to be told.
This survey will be open until 31st March 2017.

Much appreciated,

Lesley Meaker
