i would like to add a "National NHS day" to the calendar to show thanks to the hard working NHS staff

More details

i think we should have a national NHS day to say thank you to the hard working staff at the NHS who go above and beyond to save our life's whilst putting their own life's on the line. what i would like to see happen is like we do every Thursday now we all clap for the NHS and thank them on the 5th of July and for an example light up parliament, the BT tower and other key buildings blue on the night on the 5th to show our gratitude for the NHS.
