Peterborough light shines on heroic work of nurses
A light was shone on the work being carried out by nurses in Peterborough and across the world on International Nurses Day.
The Cavell Centre was lit up blue on Tuesday night, as the 200th anniversary of the birth of Florence Nightingale was celebrated.
Staff from the Cambridgeshire and Peterborough NHS Foundation Trust who work at the Cavell Centre were among those to mark the occasion.
Florence was known as ‘the lady with the lamp,’ as she carried out her rounds tending to wounded soldiers during the Crimean War. Emergency hospitals set up to treat COVID-19 patients in the UK were named after her.
