Celebrating International Nurses Day 2026

On May 12th 2026, the Irish Association of Advanced Nurse and Midwife Practitioners (IAANMP) proudly celebrates International Nurses Day and acknowledges the remarkable dedication, professionalism, and compassion demonstrated by nurses throughout Ireland.

This year’s International Nurses Day theme, “Our Nurses. Our Future. Empowered Nurses Save Lives,” recognises the important role nurses play in delivering safe, high-quality healthcare and highlights the importance of supporting and investing in the nursing profession for the future of healthcare worldwide.

The IAANMP would like to pay special tribute to Advanced Nurse Practitioners (ANPs), whose advanced clinical expertise, leadership, advocacy, and commitment to patient-centered care continue to enhance healthcare delivery and improve outcomes for patients across Ireland.

On this important day, we thank every nurse for the extraordinary impact you make and the difference you bring to people’s lives.

Happy International Nurses Day 2026
Irish Association of Advanced Nurse and Midwife Practitioners (IAANMP)
