This year is the perfect opportunity to celebrate the achievements of one of the nation’s most loved institutions, to appreciate the vital role the service plays in our lives, and to recognise and thank the extraordinary NHS staff – the everyday heroes – who are always there to greet, advise, and care for, us.
We asked patients and healthcare staff 'how has the NHS changed over your lifetime?'
As part of NHS70 we are talking to our clinical directors about their memories of how the NHS has changed over the years.
Here we talk to Dr Steve Thomas, NHS Sheffield CCG clinical lead for mental health, learning disabilities and dementia about his memories over the years of working as a GP with a specialism in mental health. |
We talked to Dr Tim Moorhead, Sheffield GP and Chair of the NHS Sheffield CCG, about the developments he has seen in general practice since he started 20 years ago. |
We talked to Dr Anthony Gore, Sheffield GP and clinical lead for Delivery – Care Outside of Hospital, about the changes he has seen in long term conditions and practices working together. |
We can all play a role in supporting the NHS in this special birthday year. Click on the links below some examples, and there's loads more on the NHS70 website.
