South West Year of the Nurse and Midwife Events

Please Note: Our Year of the Nurse and Midwife celebrations are temporarily on hold due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. We hope to resume celebrations again when we are able.   

We have lots events planned across the South West to celebrate the Year of the Nurse and Midwife throughout 2020.

Take a look at our South West regional infographic to see what we have planned. 

If you have an event that you’d like to share in our regional infographic please let us know.
