Nursing Support Workers’ Day returns on 23 November 2024. It’s a chance to recognise and acknowledge the remarkable contribution of all staff working in nursing support roles.

This year, we’ll be joining the Royal College of Nursing in celebrating the vital contribution our nursing support workers make every day.

Our activity will focus on shining a light on the diversity of this workforce and their immense contribution to nursing.

We’ll also be demonstrating the unwavering commitment of our nursing support staff to making a difference to people’s lives – not just to patients, but their families and loved ones too.

You can find resources to download, badges to order and other ways to mark the day via the RCN’s website.
