As 2024 comes to a close I would like to acknowledge the work of our nurses and midwives who have consistently acted in the best interests of those they care for while upholding the standards and integrity of the professions.
As we approach Christmas, I would like to take a moment to express my gratitude and thank you for the work you do. Thank you for your continued dedication and commitment to upholding the highest standards of practice. Whether you are providing direct care, leading services through education, research and policy, or supporting colleagues in protecting the public in their healthcare journey, your contributions are essential to the provision of healthcare in Ireland.
The World Health Organization (WHO)/Europe, as part of a project funded by the European Commission, are asking nurses, midwives and doctors to complete this first-of-its-kind survey on mental health and well-being, to understand the challenges the professions face in their work environments.
