Since 1948, the NHS has touched the lives of literally every single person in Greater Glasgow and Clyde.

Millions upon millions of people have been cared for by our dedicated doctors, nurses and other health professionals.

Despite all the staggering statistics and impressive technology, the NHS is the public service that comes to the aid of people in the most intense, personal circumstances. For every person helped by the NHS, employed by it, or its many volunteers, there is a story.

Here are some of those stories:

• Irene Barr
• Frank Cairney
• Heather Gray
• Lily Hendry & Ann Gallacher
• Amahl Mathie
• Audrey Matthews
• Anne Marie McKenzie
• John O'Byrne
• Michelle O'Halliron
• Poppy
• Robbie Robertson MBE
• Brian Thomson
• Graham Turnbull / Gina McKie
