Celebrate National ODP Day and International Nurses Day with us

Let’s celebrate together

May 2026 is a month of celebration for the perioperative community.

We invite you to join us in celebrating International Nurses Day on Tuesday 12th May and National ODP Day on Thursday 14th May. These two important dates offer the perfect opportunity to honour the dedication, compassion, and skill of perioperative professionals across the UK and beyond.

 

How you can get involved:

Make it a celebration; decorate your department, bring cakes and balloons, and take a moment to shine a light on your amazing team.

Share your pride; post a selfie or a team photo, tell us what you love about being an ODP or nurse, and share your success stories on social media.

Tag AfPP and join the conversation so we can reshare and celebrate with you.

Tell your story; help us raise awareness and appreciation for the professions that keep healthcare going, every day.

Let’s make this the biggest and brightest celebration yet!

Whether you’re an ODP, a nurse, a student, or part of a perioperative team, we want to hear from you. Let’s show the world the passion, dedication, and heart behind the scrubs.
