NHS Playday celebrations

This year all children could be part of Playday, including those who are sick and find themselves using NHS services.

2008 marks the 60th anniversary of the National Health Service and events are taking place up and down the country to celebrate this important occasion.

Playday took place on 6 August 2008 and offered a perfect opportunity to encourage children’s play and offered NHS organisations another way to celebrate NHS 60.

Play England, in partnership with the NHS, developed some handy hints and tips for NHS organisations who wanted to join in the fun.

Play England were on hand to provide support and guidance on planning Playday events for those wanting to get involved.
