West Worcestershire MP Harriett Baldwin joined MPs at an event in Westminster to celebrate the work of nurses up and down the country.   The gathering was part of events to mark ‘Nurses’ Day’ which is held annually on May 12 – the birthday of Florence Nightingale.   And Harriett attended the event, held at the Houses of Parliament, to show her support for nurses working across the NHS in Worcestershire.   Harriett commented: “We all value our NHS and the hard work carried out by staff who do an amazing job looking after us and our loved ones.   “Because of our balanced approach to the economy the Government has been able to confirm NHS staff including nurses a pay rise of between 6.5 per cent and 29 percent.   “This annual Nurses’ Day is a chance for local people to take the time to celebrate the work of these hard-working and highly valued workers whose efforts we hugely appreciate.”   Janet Davies, chief executive of the Royal College of Nursing, who hosted the event, added:  “Nursing is a dynamic profession with caring for people at its heart. Nurses’ Day is a wonderful opportunity to celebrate the incredible work nursing staff do every single day of the year.   “There is no ‘one size fits all’ rule for nursing staff. They work in a variety of settings and have a diverse range of skills. But what unties them all is their dedication, even in difficult circumstances, to delivering outstanding patient care.”   Photo: Harriett Baldwin MP makes her own dedication to Worcestershire nurses at the Nurses Day celebration in Westminster.
