Today, Sunday 12 May 2013 is International Nurses day.
NHS Careers and the Florence Nightingale Foundation encourage everyone in the nursing profession to celebrate nursing and the amazing work nurses do by engaging with their local communities and telling them about their pride in their profession.
International Nurses Day is always celebrated on 12 May - Florence Nightingale's birthday.
In Leeds Community Healthcare NHS Trust we have many nurses who undertake a variety of roles in communities across Leeds - from district nurses, to community matrons, children's nurses, school nurses, specialist nurses in our range of clinics to nurses who deliver palliative care to people who would like to spend their last days at home. Today provides an opportunity to say a very special thank you to all our nurses for their hard work, commitment and dedication - thank you.
Now we must find a day to celebrate the work of allied health professionals as we have lots of those too!
