 To celebrate the 60th anniversary of the NHS, NHS Employers is helping trusts to celebrate NHS staff and the extraordinary difference they make. The NHS is full of ordinary people doing extraordinary things. In 60 years there's a lot to be proud of. What's it about?Our 'extraordinary' campaign is enabling staff in all trusts to create an art installation from a series of postcards. We provide everything you need so that staff can write what makes them proud on a postcard and place it as part of the installation. More than 230 trusts are taking part, each of them helping to create the groundswell for a national campaign with celebrities, media coverage, press advertising and 60th anniversary events up and down the country. We are also seeking current NHS staff to be part of a book of 60 staff and their stories, representing a snapshot of the NHS today. See our extraordinary stories page for details. How do I get involved?If you are doing your own art installation Follow the tips on our 'How to' pages and be sure to send the postcards back to us to be featured in the grand finale exhibition. Send your postcards to: May Hasan Feature on our website Whether or not you're doing an exhibition in your trust, you can feature your 60th anniversary celebrations on our website www.nhs60th.org.uk. It includes photos of celebrations and extraordinary people from around the country, as well as messages that celebrities, staff, patients and the public have written on the postcards to say what makes them proud.
