Happy 60th Birthday NHSScotland
It will be the 60th Anniversary of the NHS on July 5, 2008. This provides an appropriate time to reflect on past achievements and acknowledge how far healthcare has evolved over the last six decades.
A number of local and national events will be held across Scotland which will look back at the last 60 years and towards the future of NHSScotland.
The events will take place throughout the year, however the majority will be held on or around the anniversary date of July 5, 2008.
A Steering Group is overseeing plans for the celebration activities and is encouraging as many organisations and individuals as possible to get involved in celebrating the anniversary. NHS Boards will also mark the anniversary in a way that best meets the needs of staff and the local community.
