For the first time, hospitals, doctors, nurses, pharmacists, opticians and dentists were brought together under one umbrella to provide care for free.   [![Image credit: © IWM ((MOW) L 55651).](https://blog.intelligenthealth.ai/hs-fs/hubfs/402full.jpg?width=490&name=402full.jpg)](https://www.iwm.org.uk/collections/item/object/205211583)Image credit: © [IWM](https://www.iwm.org.uk/collections/item/object/205211583) ((MOW) L 55651).   Fast forward to present times, NHS has seen the most challenging year in its history. The 5th of July is an opportunity to recognise, reflect and remember the skills, commitment, achievements, compassion and diversity of 1.9 million workers, across more than 350 different professions.     We are proud to have been working together with our partner NHSX over the years, to drive forward technological innovation within the system. The NHSX is a joint unit bringing together teams from the Department of Health and Social Care and NHS England and NHS Improvement to drive the digital transformation of are.   To celebrate this year’s birthday, we highlighted 5 times NHS has been part of Intelligent Health in 2020:   1. When Tom Whittlestone told a story about **AI – the legacy of COVID-19** at IH Inspired, online in May 2020.   ![Tim Whittlestone](https://blog.intelligenthealth.ai/hs-fs/hubfs/Tim%20Whittlestone%20-%20Pandemic%20Fields%20hospital.jpg?width=524&name=Tim%20Whittlestone%20-%20Pandemic%20Fields%20hospital.jpg)   1. Remember when Tara Donnelly opened Intelligent Health UK in February 2020 and ruled the stage right after talking about **leading digital health, interoperability and innovation**     ![GB49632-X3](https://blog.intelligenthealth.ai/hs-fs/hubfs/GB49632-X3.jpg?width=513&name=GB49632-X3.jpg)   1.
