2023 is a very special year for English for Nurses. It’s our 10 year anniversary! That’s 10 years of being a nurses-led organisation, dedicated to sharing knowledge and skills.

It’s wonderful to be able to look back on such a colourful, rewarding and exciting decade. Throughout that time, we have had the honour to meet and teach so many amazing people from all over the world – nurses, midwives, hospital managers and other healthcare professionals from all disciplines. A huge thank you to you all for your continuing support and for coming on this wonderful journey with us. As well as looking back, we’re just as excited to look forward to more teaching, more networking, and many other exciting developments!

To celebrate our anniversary, we will be releasing a special graphic each month with an inspirational quote from one of our very favourite nurses – Florence Nightingale. The September quote is below. You can see last month’s here: https://englishfornurses.org/news/celebrating-our-10th-anniversary-8/

Keep an eye on our social media channels for the next one in October! 

Sabine’s new article for her regular column on HealthManagement.org is now available.

This month, Sabine talks about revalidation with the NMC, a process that nurses in the UK have to undertake every three years. Sabine describes the process and then reflects on how her feelings towards it have changed since it was implemented in 2015.  For Sabine, the time spent reflecting on skills, performance, emotions, and professionalism only serves to reinforce her love for nursing.

“It’s never a dull moment in nursing as you might see. Even an administration process like this can be exciting.”

It’s time to start an online community and stay connected while COVID-19 is keeping us apart! Every month we’ll be hosting a free Zoom meeting for nurses, midwives and other healthcare professionals. It’s the perfect opportunity to meet and chat with other people, share your knowledge and experience, and brush up your English language skills. If you have any anxiety about speaking English, this is a great way to build confidence in a relaxed environment.

We call the get-togethers ’STAMMTISCH’, which is a German word for a reserved table in a pub for people who meet on a regular basis! Although many of the participants will come from a German speaking background, we welcome healthcare professionals of any nationality or background. 

Meetings take place in English, via Zoom, and last 90 minutes. We can accommodate about 20 to 25 participants and still have a few places left for the next meeting. 

NEXT MEETING: 28/09/2023, 5pm – 6:30pm (UK time)

An absolutely brilliant documentary shown on the BBC about Florence Nightingale, “an extraordinary woman who revolutionised modern nursing and whose legacy continues to benefit millions.”

https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m001nj0b/florence-nightingale-nursing-pioneer

The documentary features commentary by Prof. Anne Marie Rafferty (RCN) and Prof. Greta Westwood (Florence Nightingale Foundation). I am very proud to have met both of these very important and influential women in British nursing 

There have been several documentaries about Florence Nightingale over the years, but I feel that this is the very best!

Please do take a look. Highly recommended!
