On Tuesday 12 May 2020 we celebrated our NHS nurses for International Nurses Day 2020.

Across the CCG's social media platforms (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and LinkedIn), we appreciated and said thank you to nurses across the Vale of York both on the front line caring for patients, and those working to support nursing across our wider health system.

Here are a few of our brilliant CCG nurses ????❤️​​​​​
