On 12 May, the International Nurses Day, the SIOP Nursing Network invites nurses around the world to come together under one shared message:
Nursing: Caring Connects Us
This year’s campaign celebrates the powerful role of nursing in connecting people across borders, cultures, and healthcare systems. Whether at the bedside, in research, or in the community, every act of care contributes to a global network that unites professionals and patients alike.
A Global Message of Connection
Nursing is more than a profession, it is a human connection that transcends geography and specialty. Through this campaign, we aim to recognise the essential contributions of nurses worldwide while fostering a sense of solidarity and shared purpose across the global nursing community.
At the heart of the campaign is a simple but powerful idea:
“Every story, every shift, every act of care… connects us.”
Join us in spreading the message by sharing these graphics on your social media:
Get Involved: One Frame, One Global Community
We are launching a participatory social media initiative, “One Frame, One Global Community,” inviting nurses everywhere to visually show their connection to this global movement.
Participants are encouraged to:
- Download the official campaign photo frame or virtual background
- Take a photo or screenshot—individually or with colleagues
- Share it on social media using the campaign hashtags:
- #CaringConnectsUs

Be Part of a Worldwide Movement
From hospitals to research centres, from local clinics to international collaborations, nurses are united by a shared commitment to care. This International Nurses Day, we invite you to stand alongside colleagues across the globe and celebrate the connections that define our profession.
Join us on 12 May and help showcase the strength, compassion, and unity of the global nursing community.
