South Petherton’s Superhero nurses celebrate International Nurses’ Day in style!
International Nurses’ Day is celebrated around the world every 12 May, the anniversary of Florence Nightingale’s birth. The International Council of Nurses commemorates this important day each year with the production and distribution of the International Nurses’ Day Kit.
Our nursing staff are superheroes (as are all our staff) and, are always there when needed most, changing lives with their unique set of skills. Nurses are heroes who run towards danger, and we thank you for doing so, every single day!
