About this listen
The number one Sunday Times bestseller.
Features 75 stories narrated by their authors.
Curated and edited by Adam Kay (author of multi-million best seller This Is Going to Hurt), Dear NHS features household names telling their personal stories of the health service. Contributors include Paul McCartney, Emilia Clarke, Stephen Fry, Sir Trevor McDonald, Sir Michael Palin, Naomie Harris, Dame Emma Thompson, Joanna Lumley, Miranda Hart, Ed Sheeran, David Tennant, Dame Julie Walters, Emma Watson and many, many more.
The NHS is our single greatest achievement as a country. No matter who you are, no matter what your health needs are, and no matter how much money you have, the NHS is there for you. In Dear NHS, an amazing list of inspirational people come together to share their stories of how the national health service has been there for them and changed their lives in the process. By turns deeply moving, hilarious, hopeful and impassioned, these stories together become a love letter to the NHS and the 1.4 million people who go above and beyond the call of duty every single day - selflessly, generously, putting others before themselves, never more so than now.
They are all heroes, and this book is our way of saying thank you.

Emotional but uplifting
Silly me, I thought that I could get through this without crying. Some of these stories are incredibly hard to listen to but each is a wonderful reminder of just how important the NHS is to this country. Please buy this in one format or the other and read or listen to just how important it is to value our incredible NHS and never, ever take advantage of what we have.

Audio Dear NHS, not same as book
Loved the stories but it has less than 80. The book of a similar name has 100. Felt cheated.Should have had a different cover / artwork to make it more obvious, they are not the same.

Inspiring!
This is a brilliant collection of stories/poems/thoughts from many different well known people who are expressing their gratitude for the NHS.
Some are funny, some are sad. All are thought provoking.
An emotional, entertaining, and inspiring audiobook.
