Stockport Primary Care Trust are urging poetry
enthusiasts in Stockport to submit poems to celebrate 60 years of the
NHS.
All the entries will be displayed at an event on 1st
July being held at Stockport County, Edgeley Park and a number of them
will be read out during the day. The winner’s poem will be included on
the Stockport PCT website, Createwrt.net and the event will be submitted
for inclusion on the National Poetry Website. The winner will also
receive £25 book token.
The theme is ‘Then and Now – 60 years of the
National Health Service’. The competition is open to Stockport residents
and anyone who works in the NHS in Stockport.
Stockport PCT hopes that you will join them in
marking the occasion by remembering the achievements of the past,
appreciating what we have now and looking ahead to the future.
The focus of the celebrations will be to recognise
the achievement of NHS staff – without them, none of the improvements of
the last 60 years, or future advances in patient care and public health
– would or will be possible.
