HUNDREDS of nurses at Warwick Hospital were served up a special hot breakfast to mark International Nurses Day.
The Rapid Relief Team charity served up 600 meals to nurses and midwives at the hospital to thank them for their dedication in looking after others.
International Nurses Day is a global awareness day celebrating the dedication and compassion of nurses across the world.
Across the UK, the RRT served over 4,000 nurses at six hospitals, with the help of over 45 local volunteers.
This was part of the charity’s global initiative, which saw RRT teams deliver over 114 events across the globe, reaching over 102,000 nurses worldwide.
The RRT, which is made up of volunteers from the Plymouth Brethren Christian Church, puts compassion into action by offering practical support to charities, emergency services and other organisations on the frontline.
The charity has a long history of supporting healthcare staff, with the RRT organising an A&E Appreciation Week last year when volunteers visited 93 hospitals and hosted 115 welfare events where they served over 10,000 coffees and cakes to A&E teams.
Doug Barr, RRT local team leader, said: “The theme of International Nurses Day this year is ‘Empowered Nurses Save Lives’, and it was our pleasure to be at Warwick Hospital to show our appreciation for the nurses that work tirelessly to care for our community. Their resilience, empathy, and dedication are truly inspiring, and International Nurses Day gives us a moment to pause and say thank you.”
