Staff at the Royal Lancaster Infirmary have been celebrating the 75th anniversary of the NHS.
The NHS was founded on July 5 1948 as the first universal health system to be available to all, free at the point of delivery.
In the week that NHS staff are being celebrated nationally for their hard work and dedication over the last 75 years, employees working across Lancashire and South Cumbria have been recognised for their part in improving the health and care experiences of people living in the region.
“I would like to personally thank all of the people working in the ICB and in the wider NHS in Lancashire and South Cumbria," said Kevin Lavery, chief executive officer of the Lancashire and South Cumbria Integrated Care Board (ICB).
"They do an amazing job for patients, as they have been doing for the last 75 years. We know that there are lots of events planned this week to reward staff for their hard work.
“It’s important to look back and celebrate the progress we have made in the last 12 months within challenging circumstances, and I am looking forward to seeing many more examples of how our hard-working staff improve the lives of people in Lancashire and South Cumbria.”
