“International Nurses Day also provides us with an opportunity to say a big thank you to all those who currently work in the nursing profession. Our nurses across Shropshire, Telford and Wrekin play a hugely valuable role in the NHS, whether they work in primary care, mental health, community, care homes, or hospitals.

“I would encourage anyone thinking about a career in nursing or healthcare to come along to our latest recruitment event. Here they will be able to discuss all the options that are open to them, get personalised advice on which careers suit their skills and interests, as well as find out more about what this wonderful profession offers.”
