Nursing is not a ‘calling’ or a ‘vocation’. It’s a highly skilled and safety-critical profession, requiring remarkable dedication, professionalism and expertise.

Nursing staff work in a vast variety of settings – from GP surgeries and hospitals to care homes and prisons. But no matter where you are, the public trust you in their times of need. They turn to you not only for your care and compassion, but for your knowledge, your training and your skills.

Yet despite your invaluable work, the nursing profession is facing huge challenges. That’s why this Nurses’ Day, we’ll be demonstrating the incredible skill, dedication and impact of nursing.

Join us on 12 May to celebrate #NursesDay and pave the way to secure a brighter future for nursing and health care in the UK. 

• Order our free badges for you and your colleagues.
• Start planning a workplace event to recognise the difference nursing makes.
• Check out our downloadable resources to help promote your event.
• Get on social media to shout about the value of nursing and show the difference you make. Maybe it’s a reel, a simple text post, a photo of you or a colleague – whatever you feel comfortable sharing. The most important thing is that social media is alive with you and your stories. Check out our graphics which you can download, use #NursesDay and make sure to tag us so we can reshare your posts.
