International Nurses Day
12th of May
International Nurses Day celebrates nurses globally and acknowledges their achievements and contributions. The campaign takes place every year on the 12th of May to coincide with Florence Nightingale’s birthday. This year's theme was 'The economic power of care', which focuses on raising awareness of how investing in nursing can provide many economic and societal benefits worldwide.
To celebrate our community nurses on International Nurses Day emails were sent on Sunday 12th of May, wishing them a very happy International Nurses Day and thanking them for the clinically outstanding world-class care they deliver to our clients in the community.
For nurses who worked 50+ shifts with us, they will have received personalised emails highlighting the hours of care they've delivered to our clients in the community since they first joined us.
