There are 16m disabled people in the UK & around 80% of those have invisible disabilities. Invisible disabilities are still often overlooked or misunderstood - but initiatives like the sunflower lanyard are starting to change that... open.edu/openlearn/health-sp…

Behind every nurse is a story. Elena, Nicola, Cheryl and Graham all came to nursing through different life experiences, from frontline care and mental health advocacy to personal loss and family inspiration. What unites them is a commitment to care. This #InternationalNursesDay, we celebrate every nurse making a difference.
