NHS spotlights care sector as part of 70th anniversary

The NHS’ 70th celebration will highlight the role of the care sector in September.

Each month, the NHS has focused on a particular aspect of policies, and September is about recognising the HNS staff and community that delivers personal care. The significant contribution of volunteers in the care sector is also being highlighted.
