A special service to celebrate 70 years of the NHS is being held at 6pm on Wednesday 26th September at All Saints Church, Queen’s Rd, Ryde, Isle of Wight PO33 3AF.
All NHS staff across the Island, everyone involved in health and wellbeing services and members of the public are invited to attend.
The service is supported and led by the Chaplaincy Team at Isle of Wight NHS Trust and will feature the Island’s NHS Nightingales Choir.
A sea of colour
NHS staff who wear uniform to work are asked to attend in uniform to provide a sea of colour across the church.
The service will be recorded by Sunshine Hospital Radio for future broadcast. The retiring collection will be shared between NHS Charities and All Saints Church.
