This was developed with support from the Royal Infirmary Arts Committee and Staff Steering Group. It was commissioned and managed by Ginkgo Projects Ltd. 'Narratives' comprises historic bronze plaques and newly commissioned plaques. The historic plaques are a record of donations made to the Royal Infirmary to ensure that before the days of the NHS and free treatment for all, many more people in Edinburgh could have access to healthcare. The historic plaques are not only beautiful to look at, but they are an important record for the hospital and the people of Edinburgh. They hint at the personal stories of people treated at the hospital from the 1860s up to the present day, as well as telling tales of hard work and dedication, of tragedy and loss, recovery and new life.
