As
the recent Health and Social Care Act (2012) shows, the NHS has been subject to
much change since its inception in 1948. Having recently celebrated its 64th
birthday, the NHS is entering another period of significant change.
To
mark these changes, and to show them in their historical context, the Nuffield Trust has
launched an interactive
timeline that brings the NHS’ history to life,
charting the evolution of this public institution from its inception in the
post-war years through to the present day. The
timeline outlines the current NHS reforms and how they came about, while also
highlighting the future changes to the system that are expected.
To
use the timeline, simply scroll through the decades, access further
information, and watch embedded videos to familiarise yourself with the history
of this dynamic institution. The timeline is a live resource and will be
updated when further significant changes and developments take place. We
believe the timeline to be a solid, accessible and fun educational tool that
can be beneficial for the users of your network and anyone interested in health
care, policy and public services in the UK.

You might also be interested in
some key slides that we have developed to help illustrate the main changes to
management, accountability and funding structures resulting from the Health and
Social Care Act 2012. The slides are available to download so that the images
can be reused in people’s own presentations: http://www.nuffieldtrust.org.uk/talks/slideshows/new-structure-nhs-england.
