From the early days of the NHS, Irish nurses have been at the heart of British healthcare.

It honours not only their professional dedication, but their social and cultural experiences as Irish migrants.

💬 We want this to be a collaborative, community-focused event.
If you or a loved one worked in the NHS — especially as an Irish nurse — we invite you to bring along photos, artefacts, uniforms, or memorabilia to share during an open discussion. Help us celebrate and preserve this incredible legacy together.
