NHS 60
5 July 2008 marks the 60th birthday of the NHS. In the run-up to this landmark date, we will publish NHS 60 related features and resources on these pages. We will keep you updated on the celebrations NHS staff are organising across the country.
An NHS 60 mark has been developed to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the NHS. Call the NHS Identity helpline on 020 7972 5250 or 0207 972 5261 for a copy of the mark and guidance on its use to promote the anniversary.
Celebrating 60 years
Six decades after its birth, the founding values of the NHS remain firmly in place. We look at how the NHS has developed, and what the future holds.
Class of 1948
An interactive web feature traces the health history of a class of Cornish primary school children from 60 years ago.
