Lily Tidman

• Postgraduate Researcher
• Lily Tidman, appointed to a Northern Bridge Studentship, is collecting oral histories of volunteering in hospitals in the 'far North' of England, 1979-1997.

After completing a BA (Hons) in History & Politics from Oxford University and an MA Health Humanities from UCL, Lily began her PhD at Newcastle in 2024. Lily's project includes oral histories of volunteering in hospitals in the 'far North' of England - Cumbria, Northumberland, and County Durham - 1979-1997. It explores volunteers' experiences, understandings of the North-south health divide, and the impact of marketisation policies on public services.
