🌍 Bonne Journée Internationale des Infirmières ! Aujourd’hui, nous célébrons les 30 millions d’infirmières et d’infirmiers dont les compétences, la compassion et le courage sauvent et améliorent des vies chaque jour. Le thème de cette année pour la #JII2026, #NosinfirmièresNotreFutur – Le pouvoir d’agir des infirmières sauve des vies, nous rappelle une vérité essentielle : les infirmières créent les systèmes de santé les plus solides, les plus sûrs et les plus résilients lorsqu’elles disposent d’un véritable pouvoir d’agir. À un moment où les besoins en santé augmentent et où l’instabilité mondiale s’intensifie, les preuves sont claires : les soins infirmiers ne sont pas un coût, mais un investissement à fort rendement. Nous appelons les dirigeants du monde entier à investir pour un impact réel : des conditions de travail sûres, une rémunération équitable, l’exercice complet des compétences,, une formation solide et des opportunités de leadership. 🔗 En savoir plus : bit.ly/4u0o1c0

We are saddened to learn of the passing of Pam Simpson, former vice-chair of World Physiotherapy specialty group the IPPTA. Pam will be remembered for her leadership and contribution to private practice physiotherapy, and our thoughts are with her family, friends and colleagues.
