Shorvon NEUROLOGY and the NHS R1 Revised
FULL TITLE: HOW THE COMING OF THE NHS CHANGED BRITISH NEUROLOGY AUTHOR: Professor Simon Shorvon UCL Institute of Neurology. RUNNING TITLE: NHS and Neurology POSTAL ADDRESS: UCl Institute of Neurology, Box 5, National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery. London WC1N 3BG TEXT: ‘The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away’. (Psalm 90:10) The introduction of the National Health Service (NHS) on the appointed day, July 5 1948, profoundly affected all aspects of British medicine and not least neurology. Now, seventy years later, its monolithic structures still remain the bedrock of British health provision, and as Robin Butler remarked in the 1980s, only the Russian Army and Indian Railways employed more people. It has dominated the entire professional careers of all British-trained neurologists, so much so that it is easy to forget how much has changed since its inauguration, not just in the scientific aspects of neurology, but also in the style and nature of British neurological practice. It is on this latter point that I will focus in this short piece. I will sketch out a picture, albeit impressionistic and incomplete, of what professional neurological practice in neurology was like and what were the pressing issues in these early years, using contemporary quotations where possible. The resulting picture is inevitably selective, and is very much London- based as the article draws heavily from London archives, but does I hope make clear that neurological practice in the country underwent far-reaching changes as the NHS gathered its stride. -

In Grateful Memory of the Men of the Parish of Rockcliffe and Cargo And
In grateful memory of the Men of the Parish of Rockcliffe and Cargo and of this district who lost their lives in the service of their country in the Great War and in World War Two, and of their comrades who returned, having done their duty manfully. It is not the critic that counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or whether the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena…. who strives…. who spends himself…. and who at worst, if he fails, at least he fails in daring, so that his place will never be with those timid souls who know nothing of either victory or defeat. At the going down of the sun, And in the morning We will remember them. A cross of sacrifice stands in all Commonwealth War Graves Commission cemeteries on the Western Front. The War Memorial of the Parish of Rockcliffe and Cargo. It is 2010. In far off Afghanistan young men and women of various nations are putting their lives at risk as they struggle to defeat a tenacious enemy. We receive daily reports of the violent death of some while still in their teens. Others, of whom we hear little, are horribly maimed for life. We here, in the relative safety of the countries we call The British Isles, are free to discuss from our armchair or pub stool the rights and wrongs of such a conflict. That right of free speech, whatever our opinion or conclusion, was won for us by others, others who are not unlike today’s almost daily casualties of a distant war. -

As they do every five years, the "Little Ships" will cross the Channel and come to pay to Dunkirk and to the combatants of 1940 the tributes of their peers and of new generations keen to perpetuate the memory of the men and of the sacrifices made to defend freedom and re-establish peace in Europe. Let those who laid down their lives on our beaches or at sea, those whose frail vessels were sunk by the German air force on the road to hope, those who survive today, moving and proud veterans, inseparable from our collective memory, be honoured. This year I have some very special reasons to be pleased about these commemorations taking place, marked both by solemnity and by friendship between peoples. -
