As part of the celebration of #InternationalNursesDay on Thursday 12 May, the Chief Nursing Officer in the Department of Health is asking nurses to highlight their role by sharing a video or photo on their social media account using the hashtag #Hereforlife.
The #HereforLife social media campaign is running today across Ireland and the UK in celebration of nursing and midwifery professions. The campaign brings together Chief Nursing Officers (CNOs) in Ireland and the UK together with the Royal College of Nursing (RCN) Foundation to develop a communication framework for nurses and midwives.
Based on the new Enabling Professionalism Framework, launched on International Day of the Midwife last week, nursing and midwifery staff are sharing their expertise and professionalism through videos or photos on social media.
Many people don't realise the multi-faceted clinical roles that nurses have in patient care and we want to thank them for their commitment and to celebrate the role of the nurse this Thursday.
Nurses are asked to record a very brief video message with their first name and their nursing role and add #HereforLife in the text of the post.
