International Nurses’ Day

On 12 May, we celebrated the incredible contribution of ÌÀÍ·ÌõÎÛÁÏ in the UK and across the world.

Nursing is a safety-critical global profession; strengthening it anywhere strengthens the profession everywhere. At a time of increasing geopolitical instability, shrinking development funding, and political pressure on health systems worldwide, ÌÀÍ·ÌõÎÛÁÏ staff face shared challenges that transcend borders.

By standing in global solidarity, we can raise the profile of ÌÀÍ·ÌõÎÛÁÏ and ensure its impact is recognised worldwide.
