The NHS was established in 1948 to offer everyone in the UK with health care based upon their requirements, and not on their capability to pay. The NHS is appreciated throughout the world for the standard of care it provides to clients.

Although the majority of people consider the NHS as being their local health center, when you visit your dental professional, your GP or even your local pharmacist you could be speaking to somebody employed by the NHS. And progressively there is a growing number of NHS staff whose work is not based in a medical facility, but who operate in local health centres, GP practices or even in patients' own homes.

More people work for the NHS than any other organisation in the nation: 1.3 million individuals in England alone. That is around one in every forty individuals. You will most likely know at least one person who works for the NHS.

The individuals who work for the NHS may have tasks in medical or non-clinical functions. Clinical roles provide care to clients, such as nursing, medicine, midwifery, as well as a variety of allied health professions such as physiotherapy, radiography and counselling.

The numerous non-clinical functions in the NHS cover the functions needed to keep the buildings clean and efficient and the organisation running smoothly. Non-clinical functions include receptionists, accountants, IT experts, caterers, engineers, architects and plumbing technicians.

With over 350 different profession opportunities, there is a function to fit all interests and certifications.
