Florence Nightingale, the impact of WWI, the science behind modern medicine, and the downright grubby state of a Victorian street — just a taste of the sheer scope of what a day at Thackray offers. We’re here to inspire your students to:
- Gain curriculum-based knowledge
- Understand about caring for ourselves
- Think about careers in healthcare
