Dementia UK celebrates Admiral Nurses on International Nurses Day

To mark International Nurses Day on Saturday 12 May, we want to celebrate the incredible work of Admiral Nurses who make a real difference to the lives of people affected by dementia.

Everyone at Dementia UK is extremely proud of the fantastic care provided by each and every Admiral Nurse. Thank you all for your tireless dedication, compassion and unwavering commitment to improving quality of life for all people affected by dementia.

If your life has been touched by an Admiral Nurse and you would like to share your thoughts then please post a message, including where you're from, on our Facebook page or on Twitter with the hashtag: #Admiralnurses. Equally, if you don't have an Admiral Nurse in your area but feel very passionately about them, then we want to know too!
