The weekly nationwide clap for the NHS ended after 10 weeks on 28 May.
NHS chief executive Sir Simon Stevens says he hopes the public will use the anniversary as an opportunity to"say a heartfelt thank-you" to hospital staff.
Sir Simon said:"This year has been the most challenging in NHS history, with staff displaying extraordinary dedication, skill and compassion to care for the 100,000 patients with COVID-19 who needed specialist hospital treatment and many others besides.Image:"During this testing time our nurses, doctors, physios, pharmacists and countless more colleagues were sustained by the support of the public, not least through the weekly applause for key workers.
The call for another clap follows a letter from the Together coalition, in which figures including Sir Simon and the Archbishop of Canterbury voiced their support for making 5 July an official day of commemoration.
