From the Publisher

The Gift is for our National Health Service. Not oxygen, but maybe a small point of light. This book is for the workforce of the service: it is writing as an act of community, even solidarity. This book wants to give the NHS something which is serious, entertaining, permanent, meaningful and articulate. The writers hope that their work might inspire medical workers to reflect on how people who use their service feel and think about their experiences.

This project is the gift of a book to a person – the first 30,000 copies are to be given free to NHS workers in Birmingham. It is the gift of talent of the writers in the book, who, in their turn, gave their work free. And it celebrates the gift of life that is the central concern of our doctors, nurses, ancillary staff and other medical workers.

5.0 out of 5 stars Startling and generous, 11 April 2002
By A Customer
I am one of the NHS workers who received the book free (thanks to working in health). Had I not been I'd still have ordered this magnificent anthology. Did you know that 31,000 copies are being given free to NHS staff? Well, all you non-NHS staff out there should join the throng. There is some fantastic work here by Doris Lessing, Tom Paulin and an especially wonderful and clearly dangerous work by Hanif Kureishi. Go get it while you can. Tough luck you have to buy but it's still cheap for what it is. Great scope too: Hegley's in alongside NHS people (not me though). All good stuff, bedside reading that'll keep you awake when you need to go on shift early next day.
