Anniversary of the NHS - primary
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. Since then, the NHS has delivered Britain’s first heart transplant in 1958, Europe’s first liver transplant in 1968, the world’s first CT scan on a patient in 1971, and the world’s first test-tube baby born in 1978.
In 1999 the meningitis C vaccine was offered nationally in a world first, and during the COVID-19 pandemic, having a single national health service enabled the UK to carry out research at an unprecedented scale and find the world’s first effective treatment, dexamethasone, and the first accredited COVID-19 vaccine.
The resources in this collection explore the human body, circulation system, respiratory system, immunity and many other aspects of keeping healthy linked to the primary curriculum.
