May 30th - June 3rd the Community Centre is hosting an Imperial College photo exhibition
Discover the inspiring stories of NHS staff such as doctors, midwives, physiotherapists, pharmacists, nurses and patients people behind healthcare research at Imperial College Academic Health Science Centre (AHSC) in a free photography-led exhibition - Humans of Health Research.
“I wanted to make a difference to not only the patients I saw, but for patients who you don’t see and generations to come...”
Health research is saving lives, improving health outcomes and transforming NHS services, but who are the people behind this work?
The exhibition features a range of NHS staff such as doctors, midwives, physiotherapists, pharmacists, nurses, patients and healthcare scientists. Many juggle research and clinical work and they all share what motivated them to get involved in research.
“Going on the trial was lifechanging...”
Patients also talk about the reasons why they got involved in research and how taking part has affected their health and their life.

Previously hosted in Imperial’s main entrance in South Kensington, we are now bringing this exhibition to White City Community Centre for wider audiences to see. This will be the final opportunity to see the exhibition in full before the images are donated to the hospital partners and put on permanent display there.
We will also be hosting a lunchtime conversation café on Wednesday 31 May and Thursday 1 June from 13.00-14.30 where some of those featured in the exhibition will be sharing their motivations and experience of being part of research.
