Participating in the Barts Health Project allowed me to both apply and develop key skills essential to the heritage sector, including research, teamwork, and public engagement. Through this experience, I gained a greater appreciation of how history, particularly in the context of healthcare, can be preserved, interpreted, and shared with contemporary audiences. It deepened my understanding of the ethical and practical considerations involved in heritage work, especially when dealing with sensitive or institutional histories. Most importantly, the project strengthened my confidence in working with historical material, provided concrete examples of impactful public history, and helped me build a professional network that has supported my continued growth in the heritage and cultural sectors.
