As we commemorate the 75th anniversary of the National Health Service (NHS), it is a momentous occasion to express our heartfelt gratitude to Salisbury District Hospital and the incredible healthcare professionals who have tirelessly served our community.
This year is especially significant as Salisbury District Hospital celebrates its 80th anniversary alongside the NHS.
On June 26th, a memorable service was held to honour these milestones, featuring three inspiring commissioned works by talented artists: Saili Katebe, Martin Figura, and Paula B. Stanic. Their prose and poetry, which beautifully capture the evolving faces and rich history of both the hospital and the NHS can be read in full online by clicking the following links:

On the convergence of these historic anniversaries, let us express our deepest appreciation for the outstanding contributions of our NHS workers. Their selflessness, resilience, and unwavering commitment to the well-being of our community deserve our utmost admiration.
To the doctors, nurses, surgeons, paramedics, technicians, administrators, and every member of the healthcare team, you are the unsung heroes who work tirelessly, often behind the scenes, to provide exceptional care to those in need. Your expertise, compassion, and kindness touch the lives of countless individuals and families in our city.
Together, we honour the legacy of the NHS and the extraordinary healthcare professionals who have dedicated their lives to ensuring our city’s well-being.
Thank you, Salisbury District Hospital, and thank you to all the amazing NHS workers in our city. 👏
