Visitors of all ages were invited to discover how the NHS is developing innovations to assist people in the future.
Karen Livingstone, Director at the Eastern Academic Health Science Network said: “We were amazed by the children’s enthusiasm. They had so many ideas about how to improve health. The entries were thoughtful and clever and demonstrated a real understanding of some of the health challenges we face.”
“The NHS workforce of tomorrow is growing up in our community today. At the Eastern Academic Health Science Network, we are keen to harness the skills and creativity of the next generation to build the NHS of the future”.
