Singer Lewis Capaldi has sent a special message to mark International Day of the Nurse.

In the broadcast, Lewis, who has a connection to the team, said: “Hello to all the Regional Services nurses, it’s Lewis Capaldi here and I just wanted to say Happy International Nurses’ Day. Thanks very much for all the work you do and hope you have a good day!”

Lead Nurse, Lynsay Creighton, received this message as a surprise for all of the regional services nursing staff.

She said: “Due to the lockdown, we are not able to have the big party that was initially planned, however, this message is sure to boost morale. I mean, who doesn’t love Lewis Capaldi?”

There are events planned throughout NHSGGC to mark the day, including videos, displays of nurse portraits and virtual celebrations.
