AN ANDOVER care home held a special afternoon of a pampering high tea to celebrate its nurses and care staff on International Nurses’ Day.

The special day recognises the work and dedication of nurses worldwide, on the birthday of Florence Nightingale.

Rothsay Grange nurses enjoyed a pampering session and gifts on the day, as a reward for all they do daily.

Home general manager Margaret Ndanga said: “All our nurses are hard-working, dedicated and passionate about caring for older people.

“We are also committed to helping develop newly qualified nurses with their leadership and clinical skills, which can often be invaluable in a career with increasing responsibilities and workload.”
