Nurses are the backbone of patient care around the world, and the importance of their role cannot be overstated.
In 1974, the International Council of Nurses (ICN) designated 12 May, the anniversary of Florence Nightingale’s birth, as International Nurses Day. The aim was to showcase the work undertaken by nurses in the interests of patient care as well as raise awareness of some of the issues within the nursing profession itself.
Over the years, these themes have included improving the resilience of health systems, better health through nursing research, and increasing access and equity. In 2024, they are focusing on how strategic investment in nursing can bring about both economic and societal benefits.
The involvement of nurses is vital for the success of clinical research in the UK and elsewhere and they form an integral part of an interdisciplinary trial team.
Whether supporting trial participants, developing their own research ideas, or educating colleagues & the public, research nurses play a pivotal role in delivering clinical research and, ultimately, improving patient care.
We are proud to work alongside them and to be able to uplift their voices.
Thank you to nurses everywhere for everything you do!
