Today marks the 75th anniversary of the @NHS. Our Faculty is uniquely placed to help the NHS deliver faster diagnoses and new, more effective treatments.
To celebrate we're looking back on seven achievements that have helped shape the NHS and improve patients' lives #NHS75 🧵
Motor neurone disease (MND) affects around 5,000 people in the UK every year. There is currently no cure. A clinical trial led by Prof Dame Pamela Shaw from @NeuroShef has been shown to slow down the progression of a type of MND and could be a turning point for patients. (1/3)
