The North East London NHS Foundation Trust has published a cookbook to celebrate the 75th birthday of the health service.  

Employees from North East London Foundation Trust joined the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh, along with around 1,500 NHS staff to celebrate 75 years of the NHS at a service at Westminster Abbey. 

75 years on from the foundation of the NHS, our national health and care system continues to innovate and transform to improve the health and wellbeing of local communities. The NHS in mid and south Essex has, today (5 July 2023), published a five-year plan for local health and care services.

Treating over a million people a day in England, the NHS touches all of our lives. When it was founded in 1948, the NHS was the first universal health system to be available to all, free at the point of delivery.

Wednesday 5 July the NHS marks 75 years of service. The organisation and its partners will celebrate this milestone by showcasing the best of the NHS. We're celebrating this milestone through various events and encouraging everyone to join in with NHS 75 activities.
