NHS 70th celebrations

10 Jul 2018 - Press Release

Stockport NHS Foundation Trust, which runs Stepping Hill Hospital and community services in Stockport celebrated the 70th birthday of the NHS with a number of events.

The stroke unit held a garden party for the public which featured clarinet playing from the trust’s chief nurse Alison Lynch. The Tree House children’s unit also hosted a child friendly garden party, which featured music, clowns, facepainting and a visit from some friendly therapy donkeys.

Several staff members travelled to the set of Coronation Street to take part in the Big NHS Singalong, aiming for the biggest ever live singalong to The Beatles’ ‘I Get By With A Little Help From My Friends’. Other staff from the trust were represented at national celebrations at Westminster Abbey in London and York Minster. 

Individual wards and departments also had their own celebrations for staff, patients and visitors which included displays with features on the NHS, past and present.
