Step back in time and witness the humble beginnings of healthcare at the Swindon Medical Fund waiting room. This print showcases a patient number board that served as a lifeline for GWR Medical Fund patients seeking medical attention. With its faded yet evocative charm, this artifact transports us to an era where patience was truly a virtue. In this bustling waiting room, individuals from all walks of life would anxiously await their turn to see a doctor. The patient call board, prominently displayed on the wall, held the power to alleviate their pain and offer hope for recovery. Each number called symbolized not just medical care but also compassion and relief. As we gaze upon this historic relic, we are reminded of the dedication and commitment it took to provide healthcare during those times. The Swindon Works' medical fund played an integral role in ensuring that employees received proper treatment when they needed it most. This print serves as a poignant reminder of how far our healthcare system has come since then. It invites us to reflect on the progress made in medicine while appreciating the struggles faced by those who came before us. Visit STEAM Museum of the GWR today and immerse yourself in this slice of history – where numbers once dictated lives and hope resided within these walls.
