  • Story Text: A huge crowdsourced mural celebrating diversity in the National Health Service (NHS) was unveiled on Thursday (October 22) in London.
    Dubbed '200 Nationalities, One NHS', the giant motif features a portrait of a young NHS health worker and dozens of drawings and paintings of flowers crowdsourced from across the country.
    The artwork, covering the entire face of a four-storey building in East London was created with the help of people in lockdown workshops.
    Taking six months to make, the idea for the mural came from street artist Atma.
    He asked members of the public to send in drawings of flowers, which he incorporated into the image.
