Sunday 5 July is the #NHSBirthday, and we want to use it to thank everyone who has helped the NHS deal with the pandemic with a big nation-wide clap at 5pm. Whether you're a teacher looking after our children or a bus driver helping us get to work — thank you. #ThankYouTogether
'No health service, not even the NHS, could have coped alone with this coronavirus pandemic. From bus drivers and teachers to care staff and food retailers and, of course, the public who took action to stay at home to stop infection spreading, everyone played their part.' Sir Simon Stevens, NHS Chief Executive
