Joanne Froggatt Instagram – Last night was such a humbling experience. To watch the first episode of BREATHTAKING at our @bafta screening with around 100 NHS professionals as part of the audience, was one of the proudest moments of my career. Thank you to all those who came, thank you for your candid and heartfelt comments and questions, and for your support. Thank you to every single #NHS worker. ❤️
Following Dr Rachel Clarke’s introduction in dedication to her colleagues, author and poet Michael Rosen, his life having been saved by the NHS during the pandemic, opened the event with his poem, written for the 60th anniversary of the NHS.
‘These are the hands
That touch us first
Feel your head
Find the pulse
And make your bed.
These are the hands
That tap your back
Test the skin
Hold your arm
Wheel the bin
Change the bulb
Fix the drip
Pour the jug
Replace your hip.
These are the hands
That fill the bath
Mop the floor
Flick the switch
Soothe the sore
Burn the swabs
Give us a jab
Throw out sharps
Design the lab.
And these are the hands
That stop the leaks
Empty the pan
Wipe the pipes
Carry the can
Clamp the veins
Make the cast
Log the dose
And touch us last’.
