Between 2 and 25 July, Partnership staff commemorated the 70^th Anniversary of the NHS with a series of events.  The NHS 70 Celebration Event kicked off at North East Locality’s headquarters at Templeton Business Centre.  Over 80 staff and members of the public enjoyed refreshments and shared information on services.

Over the course of the two weeks similar events were held across North East locality.  Each day pictures of the visits were shared on Twitter under #NHS70.

As well as Partnership staff, Ann Souter, Chair of North East Locality Engagement Forum and member of Glasgow City Integration Joint Board, and George McGuinness OBE helped at the events, talking with members of the public and staff and sharing positive experiences of the NHS over the years.

At the end of the 10 events, staff had met nearly 1,000 visitors who told stories of how grateful they were for the NHS and were a touching reminder of the good the NHS has continued to do since its beginning in 1948.
