A retired nurse who was born on the same day the NHS started, has spoken of her love for the service that gave her a career and saved her life.

Madeline Brockett, from Uddingston, was born on July 5, 1948, in Robroyston Hospital, Scotland, the same day the NHS came to be, 75 years ago today.

Madeline, who retired as a nurse in 2007 after a lifetime of service, also had her life saved by the Health Service when she had a near-fatal heart attack three years ago.
