"
On 5 July we start together, the new National Health Service. It has not had an altogether trouble-free gestation. There have been understandable anxieties, inevitable in so great and novel an undertaking. Nor will there be overnight any miraculous removal of our more serious shortages of nurses and others and of modern replanned buildings and equipment. But the sooner we start, the sooner we can try to see these things and to secure the improvements we all want. My job is to give you all the facilities, resources and help I can, and then to leave you alone as professional men and women to use your skills and judgement without hindrance. Let us try to develop that partnership from now on.”
Aneurin Bevan
Founder of the National Health Service, 1948
2008 marks a special occasion for the NHS. It was sixty years ago that the world’s first and most comprehensive health service was born. This is something to celebrate – not just within the NHS but for all those people past, present and future who have and will be cared for by our hospitals.
At Heart of England, we like to do things differently. That’s why we’re marking the occasion with something that everyone – staff, friends and patients – can enjoy.
That’s what Life and Times is all about.
