Say Thank You Together for the NHS Birthday
This year has been the most challenging year in NHS history. Those challenges would have been made all but impossible without the help and support of countless individuals and organisations around the country and across the South West.
On Sunday 5 July, the day the NHS was founded, the whole country is invited to come together at 5pm and applaud the commitment, courage and sacrifice shown by so many.
Please join us in saying #ThankYouTogether and share your messages of thanks with us on Twitter by tagging @NHSEnglandSW in to your tweets.
