In the current furore over fundamental changes proposed for the NHS, it would be much better if everyone involved clearly understood how and why the service was established, how it evolved early on, and what had existed before. A fairly safe bet, though, is that given an MCQ on those subjects, most participants in today's events would emerge with little credit. Yet the whole story is now accessible to them -told by Charles Webster (1988) with outstanding scholarship and clarity, lightened by a slightly acerbic wit.

The Many

Much of the history of occupational therapy is associated with the history of the National Health Service (NHS). As the nation celebrates the 50th anniversary of the founding of the NHS on 5 July 1948, it is fitting to reflect on the development of the profession over the past half century and how it has adapted to the many medical, technological, demographic and social changes. In 1948, the profession comprised a small band of mainly middle-class women, who worked under medical direction with long-stay patients in a hospital setting. In 1998, over 18,000 occupational therapists are state-registered. Having gained degree-entry status practitioners are increasingly self-directed and research-focused, and they work in a wide range of settings with all age-groups: a profession reflecting the ideals of the NHS to provide a service from ‘the cradle to the grave’.
