This year marks a milestone in the history of healthcare in the United Kingdom—the 75th anniversary of the National Health Service (NHS).
As we celebrate this achievement, it is crucial to reflect on the journey that led to the creation of this iconic institution and the impact it has had on the lives of millions.
To commemorate the anniversary, we have created a reading list, delving deep into the rich history of the NHS. These titles offer insights and shed light on the challenges faced, the triumphs achieved, and the enduring legacy of the pioneering healthcare system.
Remember to sign up to our newsletter to get 30% these titles and any others from MUP.
