To mark International Nurses Day on Sunday 12 May, Chief Nursing Officer for England Dame Ruth May and parkrun UK are encouraging nurses across England to take part in parkrun events this May.
Register for your local parkrun event and take part on Saturday 11 May for International Nurses Day.
You can walk, jog, run, volunteer or come along to cheer on others as we celebrate and recognise the enormous contribution and commitment of our nursing colleagues across the NHS, health and social care.
With more than 1,240 parkrun events taking place across the UK every weekend, parkrun offers a safe and inclusive space for people of all ages, abilities and backgrounds to be more active and social in the great outdoors.
Wear NHS blue or your most colourful fancy dress, and encourage your colleagues, patients, friends and family to come along too. Visit the parkrun website to find your local event and register for free. Once registered, make sure you join our International Nurses Day group.
On the day, don’t forget to share a photo or video on social media and include the hashtags #IND2024 and #teamCNO #NursesDay. Tag CNTW too so we can see your pictures!
