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.
