The National Health Service was introduced on 5th July 1948. This exhibition looks at people's memories of health care before the NHS and what life was like after it's introduction. The exhibition celebrates people's experiences and stories about home remedies, paying for the doctor, visiting the dentist and childbirth amongst other topics.
In this current economic climate we sometimes forget just how radical the NHS was in postwar Britain and how central and important it is now in all our lives.
This exhibition will be on display at the Scottish Parliament, in the restricted area for MSP, from 5th May to 8th May 2009.
