Two local doctors were invited to a special NHS Local Champion reception at 10 Downing Street last week.
The reception, hosted by the Secretary of State for Health & Social Care Steve Barclay, was to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the NHS.
At the reception, local NHS champions from across the country came together to thank them for all their work over the past year.
Dr Alan Dow and Dr Heidrun Loose were the guests of High Peak's Conservative MP Robert Largan.
Dr Dow is a former Chair of Tameside & Glossop NHS Clinical Commissioning Group but he is best known as the GP lead at Cottage Lane Surgery in Gamesley.
Dr Loose is the longest serving anaesthetist at Tameside Hospital.
Between the two High Peak based doctors, they have 67 years of combined service in the local health service.
MP Largan said: "I was delighted to be able to invite Dr Dow and Dr Loose to No.10 Downing Street, to recognise their amazing contribution over many decades of public service.
"The NHS has saved my life twice. I will always defend it and fight to improve local services!"
