On the 5th July 2023, the NHS celebrates its 75th birthday! 

To celebrate this special occasion, UCLH Arts and Heritage have selected a range of images from our archives, telling the story of how healthcare has evolved over time, whilst illustrating some of the barriers that many people faced in accessing medical treatment before the NHS was born, enabling us to further appreciate its impact and achievements. 

The NHS75 exhibition is open until Wednesday 6 September and is located in the UCH Street Gallery at 235 Euston Road.
