On July 5 next year the NHS celebrates its 70th birthday.

It's a momentous day in our history and we want to make a big bash of it throughout next year and especially on the day itself.

So if you've any ideas, send them into chft@cht.nhs.uk as we're in the early stages of planning and all ideas are very welcome.

It's nationwide celebrations obviously so it would be great for CHFT to have a standout day of celebration.

There'll be  tea and cakes and balloons and bunting and our colleagues will be at the heart of it all.

So send them in and help us wish the NHS a very happy 70th Birthday.

1948 was the year that:
Heir to the throne of England Prince Charles was born.
It was the year government nationalised the railway industry.
And for all of you who like a G&T, Alcholics Anonymous was founded in Britain.
