Do you know a great nurse or midwife on the Isle of Man?

The Department of Health and Social Care is asking people to nominate a nurse or midwife who they believe has been an influence for them or someone else.

A series of events will be held across the Island in 2020 as part of a global celebration of the work they do and is part of a World Health Organisation campaign which is also recognising the 200th anniversary of the birth of Florence Nightingale.

Anyone wishing to take part can fill out the form which is available on the DHSC Facebook page.
