Help us celebrate the NHS 75th birthday
Since the NHS was founded on 5 July 1948, it has always innovated and adapted to meet the needs of each generation.
As we celebrate this milestone, we’re looking back on the history and achievements of our organisation, the recent innovations and technology that has changed how we provide care, the dedication of the hundreds of thousands of our staff, and the opportunities that lie ahead to shape the next 75 years of the health service.
It is time to celebrate our past, but more importantly, a time to think about a future where we continue to put patients first.
Celebrate this momentous occasion with us!
Whether you are an individual, business, local club or a team, everyone can get involved.
