Celebrating the 60th Birthday of the National Health Service
Celebrations marking the 60th anniversary of the NHS are taking place across the country, and NHS Western Isles is also organising a series of local events to mark the milestone.
People across the Western Isles, including NHS staff, patients and the public are invited to join in the festivities, ranging from photograph displays, tea parties, talks and walks, and a special diamond anniversary charity ball to be held in October, to commemorate the founding of the NHS in 1948.

The anniversary is an opportunity to celebrate the achievements of NHS Western Isles, and its journey over six decades across Lewis, Harris, Uist and Barra. It also gives us the opportunity to recognise the contribution of staff, professional organisations and volunteers who have made the service what it is today.

This is why we are keen to gather as many stories from patients and staff who have experienced or helped shape the NHS in the Western Isles - so please share your memories with us so they can be recorded, and looked back upon in years to come.
