International Nurses Day is celebrated around the world every May 12, the anniversary of Florence Nightingale’s birth. 

The theme for the 2021 resource is Nurses: A Voice to Lead – A vision for future healthcare to show how nursing will look into the future as well how the profession will transform the next stage of healthcare.

Covid-19 has changed the way we live and we have never had such a focus on healthcare and the people who are in the center of the pandemic. We have also realised, how much they have had to take on during these times – being separated from their families, facing health risks and overworking.

SleepAngel Medical team is happy to celebrate International Nurses Day and focus on why and how the conditions of these people should be improved. Taking information from the source – from the nurses – and actual experiences of the pandemic, will support to improve their conditions and make sure that our societies will be prepared for future healthcare crises.

Covid-19 has been very different healthcare crisis as next to the disease, we are also in the middle of information war – the availability of information and wide spread of social media has resulted in reduction of trust for healthcare, that also makes nurses life a lot harder. All of these and many more subjects are discussed in the IND 2021 report.

Our mission is to support safer healthcare environments with uncontaminated barrier bedding innovation. Wishing you all a very good Nurses Day!
