Nurses do more than care - they connect, support and empower

Over the last couple of weeks we've been showcasing this as part of our International Nurses' Day celebrations

We asked the people we support 'What does your Nurse mean to you?', and created an exhibition centred around their heart warming answers.

People connected with our stories, chatted to us about social care nursing, and left messages of thanks to Nurses everywhere

You can still join our celebrations! Visit our online exhibition here https://www.exemplarhc.com/international-nurses-day-2025
