NHS 75 at Glastonbury Festival 2023

To celebrate the NHS big 75th birthday this year, NHS Somerset is releasing a very special film and poem written by former Bristol Poet Laureate, Miles Chambers which celebrates 75 years of the NHS.

It features a performance of the poem by Miles and local Somerset NHS staff, at Glastonbury Festivals on its main Pyramid Stage on Saturday 24 June 2023. The poem and film are to be placed in the archives at the British Film Institute.

Joining Miles on stage to help recite the poem and represent our 1.26 million NHS staff in England were Glastonbury GP Rebecca Hall, Ben Matthews a physiotherapist and Angela Reece, a nurse for children looked after at Somerset NHS Foundation Trust.
