International Nurses Day

International Nurses Day 2026 in the UK is celebrated on May 12. The theme for this year is "Our nurses. Our future. Empowered nurses save lives," which emphasises the importance of empowering nurses to lead and deliver high-quality care. The day is an opportunity to recognise and celebrate the extraordinary contribution nurses make to healthcare and the communities they serve. International nurses day is held on this day to celebrate the birth of Florence Nightingale, considered the pioneer of modern nursing.

Residents at Claremont Parkway care home, Kettering were delighted to show their appreciation for the many Nurses who work there with messages of their own, with one resident who was herself indeed a nurse with the lovely words "Thank you very much, the nurses all do a really good job x"

These messages of support, thanks and appreciation show just how much nurses are thought of in a role that is very demanding and also very rewarding.

Nurses who work at Claremont were celebrated as they each received a gift as an appreciation of their good work and care that they deliver to each and every resident every day 24/7.

Staff and Residents at Claremont not only recognised the dedication and care of all the nurses at the home they also chose to show their thanks and appreciation to some of the wonderful nurses at Kettering General Hospital as Deputy Manager Chloe and General Assistant Trish visited some of the departments giving out gifts and cards of Thanks.
