International Nurses Day 2025

/

Theme: Our Nurses. Our Future. Caring for nurses strengthens economies.

This International Nurses Day, we’re not just celebrating a profession, we’re honoring a powerful force behind healthier communities, stronger health systems, and resilient economies, our nurses.

A Heartfelt Thank You from Tilly Rea, A24 Group Head of Sales Innovation and Operations.

Their role extends far beyond patient care. Nurses led public health efforts, educate families, advocate for patients, and respond in moments of crisis, all while carrying the emotional and physical weight of frontline care. In 2025, we stand united under a global message, when we care for our nurses, we care for our future.

The Urgency for Action: What Nurses Need Now

The International Council of Nurses (ICN) 2025 report paints a clear picture: without immediate reform, the global nursing workforce faces a critical breaking point. The issues aren’t new, but they’re urgent:

  • Unsafe nurse-to-patient ratios are pushing even the most passionate nurses to burnout. Healthcare systems must address staffing shortages with sustainable solutions.

  • From PPE access to violence prevention policies, nurses deserve environments that protect their physical and emotional well-being.

  • Nurses are highly trained professionals. Pay structures must reflect the value of their expertise and commitment.

  • Investing in professional development and advanced training ensures nurses are equipped for evolving care needs and feel fulfilled in their careers.

  • A healthy workplace culture is one where nurses feel heard, supported, and empowered to lead. Strong mentorship and inclusive leadership are key.

  • Across continents and cultures, one truth resonates, nurses are the backbone of every healthcare system. Whether in bustling city hospitals or remote clinics, their care saves lives every single day.

    The COVID-19 pandemic underscored this reality. Nurses bore the brunt of the global health emergency, working tirelessly despite personal risk. Now, as we move forward, we must ensure their sacrifices translate into lasting, structural support.
