2023 75 Years of NHS 50p BU RM

The brainchild of then-Minister of Health, Aneurin Bevan, the NHS has grown into one of the country’s most loved institutions and is a vital service for millions across the United Kingdom. Over the last 75 years, NHS staff have worked tirelessly to aid those in need without requiring financial renumeration from the patient, ensuring people all over the UK can receive the care they require regardless of their financial circumstances.

During the Covid-19 pandemic, the contributions of the NHS became all the more evident, as the country watched in awe as keyworkers throughout the UK went above and beyond the call of duty in the global battle against the coronavirus outbreak. These efforts saw a renewed public appreciation for these workers, proving once more why the NHS is so highly respected throughout the Western world.
