The NHS at 60

HSJ the UK's leading source of news and information on health management and policy, is delighted to bring you this celebration of the extraordinary journey the NHS and its staff have taken since the service was launched six decades ago on 5 July, 1948.

It charts the currents that have shaped the modern NHS, from management, politics, clinical practice, campaigns and public expectations to architecture, the media and popular culture. Reminiscences of those who were in post on the first day vie for your attention with stories from three managers who were born in those first hours, and frank recollections from former secretaries of state. We discuss five days that shook the NHS, and see what the service has to learn from the only two institutions on earth with more staff: Indian Railways and the People's Liberation Army of China.

We also reveal the 60 people identified by our panel of judges who have had the greatest influence on the NHS. The stories and analysis reveal a service that has been transformed.
