Monday 23 December 2019 marked the 100 year anniversary of the Nurses Registration Act 1919
To celebrate the occasion, we asked you to share your stories of nurses from across the UK who have dedicated their careers to caring for people with skill and compassion. The response was incredible, with over 100 stories submitted to us.
We shared these on our nursing stories page, and through our Twitter account in the run up to the centenary celebrations.
