Nurses and Midwives Week

Summary

Senator John Gilroy highlights Irish Nurses and Midwives Week and invites Senators to a presentation on the profession’s developing role.

As a former psychiatric nurse, I would like to draw the attention of the House to the fact that this is Irish Nurses and Midwives Week, which gives the profession the opportunity to showcase its continually developing role in the rather challenged health system. The expanding role of the nursing and midwifery profession is taking on a more collaborative aspect. This week provides an opportunity to showcase a lot of the good work that nurses are doing. I invite Members to a short presentation by the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Ireland, to be held in the Members' restaurant between 4 p.m. and 5 p.m., on the exciting changes and developments in the profession.
