Our expertise benefits patients across specialties

Hurrah, spring has finally sprung across most parts of the UK! With the clocks going forward to British Summer Time and the added bonus of a few days of sunshine we will be seeing lighter evenings – and no one can deny the improvement that the sun has on our moods. So welcome to this spring edition of the BJN and the National Nurses Nutrition Group (NNNG) Nutrition Supplement.

I had a similar boost in mood when I attended the annual BJN Awards 2025 ceremony a couple of weeks ago. The evening was one of celebration and recognition of the essential contribution that nurses make every single day to improve the lives of patients and the wider healthcare family. The event was an incredibly positive experience and everyone was so kind to one another: complimenting one another on our outfits, and sharing jokes about the nature of nursing, the challenges and the similar experiences we all face.
