Thursday 5 July marks 70 years since Aneurin Bevan, the Labour health minister who created the NHS, said that providing free healthcare was “the most civilised step any country had ever taken”.

To help celebrate what our health service has achieved since then, and mark special events being held around the UK, we’d like you to share your photos, videos and stories with us.

You can tell us how you are celebrating or share a memorable encounter you’ve had with the NHS – including if you work for or with the service – by filling in the form below. The form is encrypted and only the Guardian has access to your contributions. One of our journalists may be in touch and we will highlight some of your responses in our reporting.
