NURSES at Dorset County Council celebrated how the nursing workforce has adapted and changed over the last few years.

To celebrate the National Nurses' Day staff at the hospital held a display in Damers Restaurant where they gave out literature about various sections that are changing and what the future holds.

Millions of nurses and healthcare assistants across the country and worldwide celebrated the day this week.
