| Collection | HSE Orthopaedic Hospital Oral History Project (d'Orthopaedic) |
| Collection Description | This collection project was a collaboration between the CFP and the Cork North Community Work Department, Cork Kerry Community Healthcare, Health Services Executive, on the occasion of the development of St. Mary’s Orthopaedic Hospital, Gurranabraher, as a Primary Care Centre. This hospital was know throughout Cork City as 'd'Orthopaedic'. The Memories of the Orthopaedic project focused on a cohort of nine interviewees who were associated with ‘the Orthopaedic’ as former staff (including medical and housekeeping), patients and locals who grew up near the hospital in Gurranabraher. The interviews, all but one of which were carried out by Joanne McNamara of the Health Services Executive, took place between April and September 2017. The project resulted in the publication of The Ministry of Healing, St Mary’s Orthopaedic Hospital Cork: An Oral and Historical Record (by Tomás MacConmara for the CFP), and elements from the interviews were incorporated into an open-air display linked to a Slí na Sláinte (Path to Health) walking route on the new campus. The project was celebrated and the book launched on 12 April 2018 at the CFP Outreach Hub. The CFP and the HSE subsequently entered into a two-year partnership, the 'Oral History for Health' project that carries out oral history in health care contexts (2019-2020), the first strand of which is the HSE Grattan Street Stories project.
