International Nurses Day and International Day of the Midwife at Royal Berkshire Hospital

International Nurses Day is celebrated on 12th May each year, to coincide with the birthday of Florence Nightingale. This International Day of Celebration serves to highlight the important role nurses fulfil in healthcare, worldwide.

 

On the 5th May International Day of the Midwife is celebrated. It acknowledges and celebrates the crucial contributions of midwives in maternal and new-born healthcare.

 

At NHS Professionals we visited the Nursing and Midwifery Teams to give out goodies such as pin badges, chocolates, sweets and NHSP water bottles to the wards and distributed to nurses on duty.
