The NHS was established in 1948 to provide everybody in the UK with health care based on their needs, and not on their capability to pay. The NHS is respected throughout the world for the standard of care it gives to patients.
Although the majority of individuals think of the NHS as being their local medical facility, when you visit your dental expert, your GP and even your regional pharmacist you could be speaking with somebody utilized by the NHS. And increasingly there is a growing number of NHS staff whose work is not based in a healthcare facility, however who work in regional health centres, GP practices or even in patients' own homes.
More individuals work for the NHS than any other organisation in the nation: 1.3 million people in England alone. That is around one in every forty individuals. You will most likely know at least someone who works for the NHS.
Individuals who work for the NHS may have tasks in clinical or non-clinical functions. Clinical roles supply care to patients, such as nursing, medicine, midwifery, as well as a variety of allied health professions such as physiotherapy, radiography and counselling.
The many non-clinical functions in the NHS cover the functions required to keep the buildings clean and efficient and the organisation running efficiently.
