Our Kid: Medical Manchester 1948-2008

Celebrating 60 years of research – improving healthcare for children and families in Manchester

Nowgen is working alongside the Central Manchester and Manchester Children’s University Hospitals NHS Trust and with other partner organisations to create a public exhibition highlighting healthcare research in Manchester. Our Kid is timed to mark the anniversary of the founding of the NHS 60 years ago.

The project includes a distinctive and impressive multimedia exhibition, teenagers’ films and a series of public dialogue events which will run during Manchester Science Festival.
