Ouch! – Additional Information and Resources

In Summer 2021 Nantwich Museum held an exhibition about healthcare in South Cheshire.

Ouch! A slightly horrible history of health and disease in Nantwich  ran from Wednesday 21 July 2021 until Saturday 23 October 2021

For children there is also a Ronnie Ratkins Nantwich Walk which looks at health issues around the town.

There were also a series of Online Webinars on health related topics.
