International Nurses Day Collage

Sunday 12th May 2024, is International Nurses Day – an opportunity to recognise the incredible work nurses do across the world.

Here at BCG, we have many wonderful nurses providing exceptional care every day. To celebrate them, we have shone a light on some of our fantastic nurses, from aspiring students to nurses who have care running through their families.

Meet Lysette, a student nurse who is on a remarkable journey to becoming a nurse through the Open University while continuing to work for BCG.

Our brilliant team at Lisden, our care home in Kirriemuir are on a mission to change perceptions around care home nursing by regularly welcoming student nurses on placements.

Meet Alan, one of our amazing nurses, also at Lisden care home. For Alan, he is from a family of nurses, so his career path was a little inevitable.

Meet Jenna, a staff nurse at our care home in Pitlochry. Jenna loves nothing more than bringing a smile to the faces of the residents – and, even with over 15 years of experience, still feels she’s learning every day.
