Nursing celebrations at Ryde Hospital

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

“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 recognising individual nurses and midwives, as well as teams, 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. “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 all week 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,” shined 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 their 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.
