Nurses' Day

How to get involved this #NursesDay on 12 May

For Nurses’ Day 2024, we’ll be recognising and saying thank you for all that you do.

Let’s be clear – nursing is not a calling or a vocation. Nursing is a highly-skilled, safety-critical profession. You are experts. You are leaders. And this Nurses’ Day, we’ll be demonstrating the remarkable difference you make to so many lives each and every day.

You dedicate yourselves to ensuring you deliver the best possible care to those you care for from the moment they enter the world to the moment they leave it and every stage in between. You deserve and need more recognition.

For too long, politicians across the UK have taken nursing for granted. In the year of a General Election, there's never been a more important time for the voice of nursing to be heard.

Join us on 12 May to celebrate

Take part in Nurses’ Day 2024

  • 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 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 and make sure to tag so we can reshare your posts.
