On the occasion of the 72nd birthday of the NHS, Stephanie Stanley, Head of Podiatry and Orthopaedic Triage at Isle of Wight NHS Trust shares the story of her personal and professional involvement with the NHS.

Sunday 5 July will be a moment for everyone to reflect on everything our communities have recently endured, stand in solidarity to mourn our losses, and thank those who are risking so much to keep us safe.

Thanking everyone from truck drivers and cleaners to doctors and shelf stackers, all of the key workers who have kept us going. It will also be a thank you to our neighbours, the ones who did the shopping, got the prescriptions, kept an eye on each other or simply did their best to stay home and save lives. This day will be the start of the campaign for a kinder, closer and more connected country. #NHSbirthday #ThankYouTogether
