International Nurses' Day 2025

International Nurses' Day is a day to celebrate the valuable work nurses do every day.
This years’ theme is ‘Caring for nurses strengthens economies’. This is a continuation of the overarching, multi-year theme of ‘Our Nurses. Our Future’, which aims to raise the profile of nursing and show how important the profession is for our health systems.
The International Confederation of Nurses (ICN) will publish a report on 12 May which will focus on tangible, evidence-based solutions to enhance nurses' health and wellbeing, recognising their crucial role in optimising both health systems and economies. It will address key concerns such as mental health, physical wellness and workplace safety, offering actionable strategies to support nurses in these critical areas.
