This milestone is the perfect opportunity to join us in celebrating the achievements of one of the nation's most loved institutions, to talk about the wide array of opportunities being created by advances in science, technology and information, and to thank the extraordinary NHS staff - without their skill, dedication and compassion, none of this would be possible.
We are a proud partner of NHS 70, working with other partners across the system, on plans to celebrate the NHS's 70th birthday.
