The NHS at 70
The Verb celebrates the NHS at 70, exploring the language of the body, and the way bodies communicate when words fall short.
So much care given in hospitals and GPs' surgeries is non-verbal, but how do we talk about and pass on expertise that lacks a lexicon?
Ian introduces an NHS tribute poem, a brand new commission for The Verb from nurse Molly Case, and contributions from surgeon Professor Roger Kneebone (who collaborates with experts outside medicine e.g. chefs, magicians, musicians), puppeteer and dramaturg Rachel Warr, drummer and poet Antosh Wojcik and from our spoken word curator Hollie McNish.
