Service chiefs paid tribute to workers and said it would embrace new technology as the institution celebrates the milestone
The 'skill and compassion' of NHS staff has 'always remained constant' one of its chiefs has said as it celebrates its 75th anniversary.
Professor Sir Stephen Powis, national medical director for the health service in England, said that staff were meeting new challenges “head on” and said the NHS would embrace the latest technology and advances in treatments. “From creating and expanding new services such as our gambling clinics to treating over 100,000 people at home in virtual wards last year, the NHS is always adapting and innovating.
She added: “This milestone 75th anniversary is an opportunity for us to reflect on their hard work and our achievements but to look to the future of the health service too. “So, from pharmacy health checks to health advice on the app, we will continue to embrace tech and future-proof our services for the next 75 years and for future generations.”
“All of this would not be possible without our incredible 1.4 million staff who have steered the NHS through the pandemic and, as our NHS Long Term Workforce Plan published last week sets out, I hope thousands more will join our workforce over the coming years so we can continue to deliver world-leading care for our patients.”
