About this event

International Nurses Day is celebrated around the world every 12 May, which is the anniversary of Florence Nightingale's birth. 

Nursing staff working through the pandemic have shattered the stereotypes of nursing. The world has seen first-hand the fundamental role nursing plays in patient safety. 

The theme for 2026 is ‘Our Nurses. Our Future. The economic power of care.’
