Saturday 12 May is International Nurses Day, a worldwide celebration of the nursing profession held on the anniversary of Florence Nightingale’s birth, known to be the founder of modern nursing.
#BSHNursingNow
We are dedicating the day to the haematology nurses who deliver outstanding patient care, and to highlight the vital contribution they make to the haematology community.
We encourage you to share your story on Twitter using #BSHNursingNow – tell us about your role as a haematology nurse and what makes the job special, or perhaps you know a colleague that has gone above and beyond in delivering excellent patient care that more people need to know about?
At our recent Annual Scientific Meeting in Liverpool, we collaborated with leaders in the field to deliver a specialist nursing session. This covered the latest innovations in nursing roles, how nurses can impact on practice, policy and research, and to improve nursing leadership in haematology.
At BSH we are also encouraging more nurses to join our vibrant community to help strengthen the voice of haematology, and so that we fully represent the rich diversity of the specialism.
Watch: Dame Caroline Watkins spoke to us at the 2018 Annual Scientific Meeting on the importance of empowering nurses in haematology.
