Florence Nightingale was one of the world’s first nursing heroes.
200 years after her birth her calls for hygiene are more relevant than ever #InternationalNursesDay#NursesDay#coronavirus
On #InternationalNursesDay, I pay tribute to Florence Nightingale, pioneer of modern nursing, who was born 200 years ago today.
Thank you to all of our amazing nurses in the UK who are taking care of us, especially in this very difficult time. You are the very best of us.
Happy #InternationalNursesDay. To all of our nursing staff, nurses across the NHS and around the world, we salute you and hope you have a fantastic day. Watch our video to see our Chief Nurse, Marion Harris give her own special message of thanks. https://t.co/upzPyIybf4

We know the weather is set to improve this weekend.
However it is vital to continue to follow social distancing advice to save lives.
DO NOT:
❌ travel to beaches
❌ visit national parks
❌ hold picnics
Only leave your home for essentials, work or exercise.
#StayHomeSaveLives
This weekend please do not make any non-essential journeys. To slow the spread of this virus everyone must stay at home unless it’s for work (where you cannot work from home), health reasons, food or exercise. If we all follow these instructions we can beat this virus.
