Today is International Nurses Day. This special day is celebrated around the world every May 12, the anniversary of Florence Nightingale's birth. The theme for this year's IND is 'Nurses – A Voice to Lead'.

Our friends at the Australian Primary Healthcare Nurses Association (APNA) sent us a lovely card with some great messages about nursing.

Included was a quote from Dr. Pamela Cipriano, the President of the International Council of Nurses (ICN) that read:

"Nurses have suffered tremendously through the pandemic. They have been unnecessarily exposed to the virus, faced attacks from the public, suffered from extreme workloads, and continue to be underpaid and undervalued.

If governments continue to put off investing in the health workforce, it will be to the detriment of health systems everywhere. There is no health without a healthy workforce."

APNA added a very positive note to all nurses:
'We see you. We value you and we respect you'.

Here's to all the amazing nurses who have helped to guide us through the challenges of the global pandemic and continue to work so hard to look after others.

Thank you!

NEW EXTENDED HOURS

From Monday May 16, we will be changing hours so that we are open later on Mondays and Wednesdays until 8:00pm.

This is to assist our clients who are unable to attend from 9:00 to 5:00 due to work or other commitments.

We're hopeful this will be more flexible and create more options for everyone. This also means that we will be closed for all appointments on Tuesdays.

For bookings, please call Pritchard Health on 0422 466 222.
