May Health Campaigns

International Nurses Day

International Nurses Day is celebrated annually on the 12th May to honor and recognize the critical role nurses play in providing health care around the world. This day marks the contributions that nurses make to society, often under challenging circumstances, and highlights the need for continued support and appreciation for the nursing profession.

International Nurses Day is observed every year on May 12th, the anniversary of Florence Nightingale’s birth.

Thank you, to our wonderful Nursing team

Deaf Awareness Week

This year’s Deaf Awareness Week runs from 4th – 10th May 2026. This years theme is ‘Right to understand- Together, we break barriers.’

The deaf community often faces significant barriers to communication, which can lead to social isolation, limited employment opportunities, and reduced access to essential services.

Stroke Awareness Month

Stroke Awareness Month takes place every May to raise awareness of the devastating impact of stroke. It also highlights the importance of providing vital support for stroke survivors and those who care for them. This year, we're asking you to Make May Purple, so we can support more people affected by stroke. - Stroke Association UK

A stroke can leave you feeling shocked and confused. It can be difficult to know where to start. You don’t have to face recovery alone.

The stroke Association’s friendly, expert team are here to listen.

They can answer any immediate questions you might have about stroke, what to expect on the road to recovery and anything else you might want to know, and we’ll connect you to the help you need.

With the right support, things can get better.

If you think that you or someone you know is having a stroke, please call 999 immediately.
