Probably the most footage our workforce take all over the paintings day are featured in affected person updates which can be shared on our web site; others are integrated in revealed fabrics that flow into in every single place, similar to Annual Reviews; ceaselessly instances, pictures taken via workforce are nice content material to percentage thru our quite a lot of social media channels, particularly on platforms like Instagram which can be photo-centric via design.
Many, many extra images amassed via workforce, scholars, and volunteers are stored and archived for doable initiatives someday. A technique that we percentage and flow into a lot of these pictures amongst ourselves is thru an all-staff digital message thread. Now and again accompanying main points (like what explicit affected person is within the photograph, as an example) aren’t to be had, however each and every symbol has a tale to inform. In honor of International Pictures Day, I sought after to percentage a small selection of those in the past unused pictures – all of which have been taken throughout the previous few months — to your enjoyment!
