The History of the NHS
The NHS was founded in 1948, providing healthcare services for everyone free of charge.
Since, there has been many medical advancements made such as the discovery of DNA and it's structure, kidney dialysis, the first pacemaker being implanted, the first heart, liver and kidney transplants, the invention of CT and MRI scans, the development of IVF and much much more.
We have over 1.5 million NHS staff across the UK, and of course all of this wouldn't have been possible without them and their dedication they bring to improving health nationally.
How will your support help?
With your support, we can continue in our mission to make a significant, positive difference to the health and care of every person in our local communities. Your donations will go towards funding items such as toys/books for children, blankets for the elderly, medical equipment such as scalp coolers for cancer patients, hip replacement technology, and breast reconstruction imaging equipment, and other projects such as our MY MRI Appeal.
