Crompton Hospital celebrates International Nurses’ Day
The theme for International Nurses’ Day this year focused on empowering and supporting nurses in meeting 21st century health challenges.
CELEBRATING its nurses with the theme, Nursing Now: A Voice to Lead, Life The Crompton Hospital proudly acknowledged its nurses who are at the core of the healthcare industry and are often the unsung heroes of the healthcare industry in South Africa. “Our theme for International Nurses’ Day this year focused on empowering and supporting nurses in meeting 21st century health challenges and recognising that nurses are at the heart of countries’ efforts to provide health for all.
“It also aimed to highlight the significant role nurses play in healthcare through leading healthcare delivery, championing the delivery of evidence-based practice and who remain the advocates for patients and their families,” said hospital manager, Stacey Naidoo.
“We salute our nurses for stepping-up and taking the responsibility of being the champions for the delivery of evidence-based practice while influencing, moulding and inspiring future generations of nurses,” added Stacey.
Aligned to 12 May is Life Healthcare’s Great 100 Nurses initiative, recognising nurses who have been chosen by their peers for epitomising quality and compassion in their daily work.
Launched in 2012, the Great 100 Nurses celebration was established to honour nurses who have made a significant difference to the profession of nursing and in the lives of patients, peers, students and the community.
“Life The Crompton Hospital is proud to have a number of its nurses nominated for Great 100 Nurses with Fortunate Dlamini being selected as 2018 Great 100 Nurse winner at the regional event held on Thursday, 10 May.
“These awards act as a reminder for staff and the public that our nurses work hard and are committed to each and every one of their patients. Through their commitment, they are transforming the nursing world and providing world class care,” said Naidoo.
