LONDON -- The Watch Devil’s Night: Dawn of the Nain Rouge OnlineUK's National Health Service has launched a new initiative to show the personal stories behind the huge organisation.
The initiative -- which began Monday to coincide with the launch of the NHS' official Twitter account -- will see a different NHS patient or member of staff become curator each week over a three-month period.
Cancer patient Richard Orchard -- who's currently a patient at Barking, Havering and Redbridge University Hospitals Trust -- is the first to take over the account.
Orchard will be sharing his experience of living with and being treated for non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma cancer all this week.

Each curator will report first-hand their daily experiences of the health service.
According to a statement emailed to Mashable, Orchard hopes that sharing his experiences will let fellow cancer patients "know they’re not alone in this".

The curation pilot has been set up in partnership with Twitter and is designed to shed light on what it means to be a patient in or to work for the NHS.
"This is such a great initiative from the NHS. From patients to paramedics, the people taking control of the account will be sharing powerful stories and experiences that others will be able to relate to and empathise with," Rob Owers, Head of News & Government Partnerships at Twitter UK, said in a statement.
The UK isn't the first account to see members of the public take over official Twitter accounts. The @Sweden Twitter account sees "a different Swede every week" take over the account to talk about life in Sweden. The @Ireland Twitter account is also curated by a new person each week to "further connect Ireland to the world" and vice versa.
So far, Orchard has been sharing his experiences of trying to stay active.
