We hear from Lincolnshire health staff on NHS 75th Anniversary
We've spoken to them about their experiences
Today marks the 75th anniversary of the NHS.
Events will be taking place around the country to mark the milestone.
Meanwhile we've been speaking to NHS staff about their experiences of working in the health service.
Melanie Kendrew is a Senior Advance Clinical practitioner in Clinical Education at the United Lincolnshire Hospitals Trust.
She works as a heart doctor.
There are so many things I like about working in the NHS
Melanie told us: "It's probably about a decade since we started the 24 hour service."
"Before we introduced that service out of a hundred patients who had heart attacks 13 of those would have died."
"It's now under 4 of those."
"There are so many things I like about working in the NHS."
"It's a huge organisation but actually it's like a family."
The outcomes are so different for so many people because of the care they've received from the NHS.
"That sense of working together with colleagues, all bringing that expertise and knowledge is actually fantastic."
"A heart attack is usually represented by a sudden blockage of an artery in the heart muscle."
"We have systems in place now where if we're alerted quickly we can open it within half an hour of a patient arriving at the hospital."
"It just makes me feel really proud."
"We're not without our problems - like many big organisations."
"But the outcomes are so different for so many people because of the care they've received from the NHS."
