Our Fantastic NHS

The NHS employs a total of approximately 1.5 million people across the United Kingdom. The NHS was established in 1948 as one of the major social reforms following the Second World War. The founding principles were that services should be, universal and free for people who live in the United Kingdom, apart from dental treatment and optical care. The English NHS does require most patients to pay prescription charges.

My Mum now works for the NHS and we have all used the NHS over our lifetimes. The NHS and the staff that work there are amazing and we are lucky to have access to it.
