Chesterman 3, Northern General Hospital
This moving artwork, titled "The Handover," captures the night shift handing over to the day shift. It was gifted by renowned Sheffield artist Pete McKee, inspired by a scene he witnessed during his stay at Northern General Hospital following heart surgery in 2021. Pete explained: “As I turned the dimly lit corner, I glanced up to see a group of nurses in the process of doing a handover, the time when the night shift passes on info to the oncoming morning staff. They were all huddled around a table lit by a single lamp, deep in conversation, taking in all the relevant details of the new arrivals and those who needed extra attention. I returned to my bed, picked up my pad and did a quick sketch of the scene and promised myself that I would recreate it when I got the chance. Twelve months have passed, and I have finally found the time to revisit those brilliant nurses and show my appreciation for their dedication and care. Thank you, NHS and all of you who work for her.”
