Staff and patients across Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust have come together to celebrate 75 years of the NHS. Two giant birthday cards have been presented to Nottingham's hospitals, to celebrate the 75th anniversary, on Wednesday, July 5.
The cards, which are six-foot high, four-foot wide and weigh 10kg, were taken around City Hospital, Queen’s Medical Centre, Ropewalk House and Nottingham Children’s Hospital. In all areas of the hospitals, patients and visitors were able to sign the cards, share a special memory of the NHS, and wish it well for the next 75 years.
Staff and patients at Haywood House at City Hospital, Nottingham, celebrated 75 years of the NHS, by signing a giant card. Louise Knight, Head of Fundraising at Nottingham Hospitals Charity, said: “These birthday cards may be giant, but they are just a small gesture of thanks to our incredible NHS staff, to make them smile on this special day.
