Here for Life is a social movement for nurses and midwives to show us what they do. Not just what we might expect, but the genuine diversity of roles and people within the professions. Nurses and midwives have a huge impact on us as individuals and on society as a whole; in so many ways they are here for life itself – at every stage.
Here for Life is a campaign delivered in partnership with the Chief Nursing Officers of the UK and Ireland and the RCN Foundation.
Jaki is a midwife. A former government advisor, innovator, collaborator and champion for choice. She keeps remote and rural Scotland ahead of the curve
Owen is a nurse. A professor, an educator, a strategist, and a force for change. With patience and precision, he influences practice to improve outcomes.
Esther is a nurse. An advocate, an expert, a provider of long-term care. She has a holistic approach, looking after the whole person in their own home.
Shauna is a nurse. A leader, a communicator, a clinical expert and a coordinator of care. She brings strength and positivity to even the darkest times.
Mauro is a Nurse. A Manager, a carer, an innovator and a businessman. He approaches everyone as an individual and leads with positivity and optimism.
Julia is a nurse. A researcher, an educator, a listener and a driver of health equality. She champions access to mental health support for all.
Asha is a nurse. A community support, a positive force and a provider of care at all stages of life. She makes health experiences just that little bit better.
