The NHS at 75
Today marks the 75th anniversary of the establishment of the National Healthcare System. Despite increasing pressures and demands, the NHS today remains committed to equity, sustainability, and accessibility, improving and safeguarding the health of millions across England. As a healthcare model, it has also helped shape the public health and social care systems of many other foreign countries.
We want to commend the work of the many dedicated healthcare professionals in the NHS: their commitment to delivering high-quality care is truly commendable and serves as an inspiration for our own endeavours.
Learning from its successes and challenges is crucial to create a healthier future together: public input and feedback can help the NHS overcome present hardships and find new solutions. Health and social care decision-makers cannot tackle issues alone and require active participation and engagement from service users.
At Healthwatch Kensington & Chelsea, we continue to strive towards bridging the gaps in healthcare access and usage, whilst promoting health equity. By learning from the successes and challenges faced by the NHS over the past 75 years, we are empowered to forge ahead in our mission to improve the health and well-being of the communities we work with.
