To celebrate the 200th anniversary of Florence Nightingale’s birth, the World Health Organization has designated 2020 as the International Year of the Nurse and the Midwife.

In previous years, nurses and midwives celebrated in many different ways and while the circumstances this year may have changed, the care, compassion and commitment remains unchanged.

Starting this week we are asking you to send stories and pictures of you and your colleagues so that we can shine a light on the dedicated nurses and midwives on our Register, not just on May12 but for the rest of the year.  Please email your pictures along with your name, current position and message for publication on our web site to communications@nmbi.ie
