The NHS

Introduction!

• I am going to explain how the NHS is organised.

• What the main services of the NHS are.

• About the people that work the NHS.

What Is The NHS?

• The NHS is the largest organisation in Europe.

• One of the best health services in the world but there is need for improvements to cope with the 21st century.

How Is The NHS Organised?

• It is funded by the tax-payer and costs lots and lots of money a year.

• The resources are not unlimited, the funds have to be allocated.

• Priorities for the health care have to be set.

• This is the job of the health service managers.

What Are The Main Services?

• The main services of the NHS are: Primary Health Care which is classed as paramedics and G.P’s.

• Two other services they provide are: providing blood and protecting public health.

People In The NHS!

• The people that are involved in this service are: doctors, dentists, paramedics, midwives, nurses, opticians, pharmacies.

• To become one of these you need 4 or more GCSE’s, also you need to be physically fit and highly skilled. You have to be able to make decisions quickly, use a variety of equipment and be able to calm and reassure your patients.

• They help the others by providing them with lots of different services that will benefit the public!
