International Nurses Day 2021

Happy International Nurses Day!

Today we celebrate the tireless and essential contribution that nurses make around the world to healthcare systems. The International Council of Nurses has declared the theme of International Nurses Day for 2021 to be “Nurses: A Voice to Lead – A vision for future healthcare”.  With 74% of the health workforce in the Pacific being nurses and midwives, we would like to celebrate them and look to the future of how the profession will shape the next stage of healthcare.

 

The International Council of Nurses will be holding a special webinar today at 14:30-15:30 CEST; which will be the launch of the IND report and a surprise announcement to reflect and celebrate the occasion. To register, click here.

Celebrations continue for nurses this month with Nursing Now holding a virtual conference; “Global footprints”, on the 24 May 2021. The conference is a series of virtual sessions which will showcase each the successes of the last three years and share our ambitions for the future of nursing.

And finally, Michele Rumsey, Director of WHO CC UTS would like to say; “Thank you to all nurses across the Pacific for all your hard work and continuing leadership in your health systems and communities during this disrupted time.”
