Calling the kids!

May 10, 2021

As part of the celebration of our nursing #SWBfamily this week we are creating a film in the voice of the children of our nursing workforce. We’re asking them why they are proud of their mum or dad. So, if you are a nurse in any capacity and your child or children would like to tell the world how special you are, please take part and send us your video clip. All we need is a few sentences (filmed on your phone is fine – in landscape format please) of your child saying what they think of mum or dad being a nurse.

As a suggestion, your child may wish to hold a photo of you and say this is my mum/dad, and then deliver their message, or speak direct to camera. Here are a few questions that would give us the sentiment we are looking for in your child’s response.

• What do you think of mummy or daddy being a nurse?
• What does mummy or daddy do at work?
• Why is nursing such an important job?
• Where does mummy or daddy work?

The film will be shared internally and externally through our social media channels this Wednesday (12 May) to mark National Nurses Day 2021.

If you wish to take part in this initiative, please send your short video clips to Anuji Evans, by WhatsApp – 07870 904625 by Tuesday 11 May. Please include their first name and age in the message.
