International Nurses Day takes place on 12 May every year and provides an opportunity to recognise nurses around the world for their contribution to health care. The day is celebrated on 12 May as this is the anniversary of Florence Nightingale’s birth, the founder of modern nursing. This year the theme for International Nurses Day is Nurses: “A vision for future healthcare”.
“Nurses are consistently named one of the most trusted professions, year after year. Taking care of people during times of vulnerability allows nurses to form a special bond with their patients.”
Get involved by:
- Making a donation
- Showing your appreciation to the nurses in your local community
- Volunteering
- Raising awareness on social media
