Anwar has been a nurse for 13 years in India and the UK, with three of those years spent working for the NHS.

When asked about his thoughts on men considering a career in nursing, Anwar recognises there are many successful and recognised male nurses in our organisation and how there’s been a new drive to encourage more men to seek nursing careers and to dispel the misconceptions and biases that may be holding them back. Nurses are the backbone of the healthcare system, providing essential care and support to patients and their families.

Sophie specialises in reablement and has been a practising nurse for 11 years. She is also a mother of two and her eldest, Niva (L), who is four years old, shows traits that would make a good nurse.

When asked about her take on this year’s International Nurses’ Day theme, she said: “Our Nurses. Our Future is so powerful. We need to educate the younger generation about how rewarding nursing is and promote it as a career choice, we dispense care, comfort, and compassion without a prescription and that to me sums up Nursing.”
