It’s Mental Health Nurses' Day 2025 and I would like to take this opportunity to thank all our incredible Mental Health Nurses' across the Trust.
It takes a very special person to be a Mental Health Nurse. It is both a challenging and yet very rewarding role and requires a high level of empathy, compassion and humility. Every day you work tirelessly to create a safe and therapeutic environment to make sure you meet the needs and deliver the best care to people who are really struggling. I am in awe of your unwavering support to the people you care for and to each other. You really do make such a huge difference and change people’s lives for the better.
Today is about celebrating you, I feel privileged to work alongside each and every one of you and I thank you all from the bottom of my heart.
I encourage all our colleagues across the Trust to visit our staff Facebook page and help celebrate and thank our Mental Health Nurses.
Thank you for all you do.
