💙 International Nurses Day – Celebrating Our Forensic Nurses 💙
"Today we celebrated International Nurses Day across our Forensic Services, taking time to recognise and thank the incredible nurses who provide compassionate, skilled and dedicated care every day."
🔹️To mark the occasion, information boards were displayed across our reception areas, sharing the stories behind our nurses – why they chose nursing and what they value most about their role. These reflections offered a powerful insight into the passion, commitment and humanity that underpin forensic nursing.
🔹️Hampers filled with goodies were delivered to every ward so that all staff could share in the celebrations and feel appreciated for the vital role they play within our services.
🔹️As a special surprise this afternoon, one nurse from each ward was nominated to enjoy a relaxing massage as a small token of thanks for their hard work and dedication. A huge thank you goes to our talented Beauty Therapists Kirsten from Beauty by Kirsten (Medium Secure) and Sandra from SA Aesthetics and Well Being (Low Secure), who generously gave up time from their busy schedules to help our nurses relax, recharge and feel valued on International Nurses Day.
🔹️We are incredibly proud of our forensic nurses and the care they deliver in some of the most complex and challenging settings.
