International Nurses Day celebrations

From scavenger hunts to Olympic games, nurses celebrated in style for this year’s International Nurses’ Day.

“Nurses guide, teach, lead, and empower, all while delivering care with kindness and compassion,” she said. “They truly are the backbone of our healthcare system, and we are proud to celebrate them today and every day.”

Events were held across the district to honour the contribution nurses make in the delivery of healthcare at NSLHD. This year’s theme, “Our Nurses. Our Future. Caring for nurses strengthens economies,” shone a light on the vital role nurses play in the community and healthcare system. NSLHD Chief Executive Anthony Schembri expressed his gratitude for the district’s nursing workforce, highlighting its dedication, compassion and skill. “At NSLHD, we are privileged to work alongside some of the

most skilled, compassionate, and dedicated nurses in the state,” he said. “It’s an honour to stand beside you in this work. Thank you for everything you do, your strength, your skill, your leadership and your commitment to care.” Award ceremonies were held at each hospital. Executive Director of Nursing and Midwifery, Claire Harris, celebrated nurses’ impact — as clinicians, educators, advocates and leaders who drive continuous improvement across our health system.
