The National Health Service (NHS) is the "public face" of the three publicly funded health care systems of Great Britain (Northern Ireland does not use the title) and the full title of the national public health service for England.
The NHS provides the majority of healthcare in England, from general practitioners to Accident and Emergency Departments, long-term healthcare and dentistry. It was founded in 1948 and has become an integral part of English society, culture and everyday life: the NHS was once described by Nigel Lawson, former Chancellor of the Exchequer, as "the national religion". Private health care has continued parallel to the NHS, paid for largely by private insurance, but it is used only by a small percentage of the population, and generally as a top-up to NHS services.

NHS is the National Health Service that's available in Britain. It's a kinda national health insurance thing that people pay into through taxes and stuff. It enables any citizen of Britain to get free medical treatment. :-)

It stands for the National Heath Service, a free (sic) system operated in the UK.
