Beveridge and the England health policy, symbolized by the National Health System, are chronologically changing, just like in other countries. Especially with the Brexit process, England has come to an important stage and there are various opinions in the literature that this stage has positive and negative aspects.The aim of the study is to describe the England health policies before and after the National Health System. Within the framework of the conceptual work, from the begining till today National Health System's structural characteristics and legal and managerial changes are introduced. As a result of the study, from 1948 to the present day, health policies in the England were found to change, depending on the political power and global economic developments. Within the National Health System, various findings have been reached, including that the costs of health services for individuals are mainly covered by taxation, which is a constant debate in government, and in recent years the National Health System has experienced structural and functional problems.
