HEALTH LIBRARY SAYS “HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE NHS”, 70 YEARS OLD!!

On Thursday 5th July it will be 70 years since the beginning of the National Health Service and many NHS Trusts and departments will be celebrating with events and displays nationwide. The staff at the Health Library are celebrating the event with a display in the library rotunda. We have chosen a theme which looks at NHS reform over the 70 years and will include some original documents from the library collection. We are also looking out our own NHS memorabilia, so who knows what may turn up!!!

The display will be in the library from Wednesday 4th July until Friday 13th July and the library staff would like to invite you along to visit, everyone is welcome, library member or not (it is simple to join the library by presenting your NHS ID and completing a short membership form, click here).
