It was a really worthwhile piece of work, and encouraging to see evidence that film can positively shape how young people understand nursing and midwifery as career options.

"Today we marked World Down Syndrome Day 2026 by coming together as a school community to raise awareness and celebrate inclusion. 💙💛
Led by the Intellectual Disability Nursing team at the School of Nursing and Midwifery, students and staff took part in forming a support circle, symbolising connection, friendship, and the importance of supporting one another. It was wonderful to see everyone getting involved and showing their support.
We also wore odd socks as part of the global Lots of Socks campaign. The colourful, mismatched socks are a fun way to start conversations and celebrate the fact that being different is something to be proud of. 🧦
This year’s message highlights an important issue- loneliness. Loneliness is more than just feeling sad; it can have a real impact on a person’s health, wellbeing, and happiness. Today was a reminder that small acts of kindness, inclusion, and friendship can make a big difference in someone’s life.
By standing together, we showed that everyone belongs and that our community is stronger when we support one another.
Thank you to all the students and staff who took part and helped make the day so special.
