EMPOWER NURSES

As the health professionals closest to the public, nurses should be empowered to realise their full potential. Call for them to play an even bigger role in health.

Right now, health services aren’t getting the most out of nurses and midwives. We can change that: nursingnow.org #NursingNow

It’s time for nurses and midwives to play an even bigger role in health. We’re speaking up for nursing and midwifery: nursingnow.org #NursingNow #HealthWorkersCount

We all benefit when nurses and midwives can give their best. Let’s support them in realising their full potential: nursingnow.org #NursingNow #nursing

SUPPORT NURSES

Changes in health care are opening new opportunities for nurses and midwives. Support them as they promote health, prevent disease and provide treatment.

Let’s take advantage of new technology and greater patient participation to give nurses and midwives more responsibility and respect: nursingnow.org #NursingNow

The health challenges of the 21st Century cannot be overcome without strengthening nursing and midwifery: nursingnow.org #NursingNow #globalhealth

INVOLVE NURSES

Nurses and midwives will be key to solving today’s health challenges – if they are properly deployed, valued and included. Make the case for putting them at the heart of policy and decision-making.

Health policy would improve if nurses and midwives were more involved. Decision-makers should make the most of their invaluable insights: nursingnow.org #NursingNow

The world will be a healthier place if nurses and midwives are properly deployed, valued and included in health decision-making: nursingnow.org #NursingNow #healthworkerscount
