The NHS (National Health Service) is the the publicly funded healthcare system of the UK.
It is made up of four separate systems: The National Health Service in England, NHS Scotland, NHS Wales and Health and Social Care in Northen Ireland. Everyone living in the UK can use the NHS without being asked to pay the full cost of the service. These services include:
- Visiting a doctor or a nurse at a doctors surgery.
- Getting help and treatment at a hospital if your unwell or injured
- Seeing a midwife if your pregnant
- Getting urgent help from health care professionals working in the amblulance services if you have serious or life-threatening injuries or health problems- this might include being transported to hospital.

Have you thought about expanding this to cover how the NHS compares with national health services in other countries? Have you looked into when the NHS was created and what was our health system before the NHS was set up?

Well the NHS is a health care service which is split around different countries so there's more hospitals to go to as then they have more patients but what they actually do is take people in and treat them. The NHS is for everyone and everyone can use it.
