Michael Rosen said: "When I came to write this poem, I wanted to express the idea that [the NHS] serves us cradle to the grave, but I also wanted to celebrate everybody in the service. There are many different kinds of essential work going on every minute of the day and I wanted to show that." Photograph: PR
