The formal launch of the international year of the nurse and midwife 2020 in Ireland took place in the Department of Health on the 23rd January 2020. This year nurses and midwives globally celebrate the 200th anniversary of the birth of Florence Nightingale. 2020 is the WHO designated international year of the nurse and midwife. Speakers at the launch highlighted the evolution of nursing and midwifery practice, policy and regulation over the past 200 years and projected the possibilities for nursing and midwifery into the future reiterating the importance of pushing the boundaries to help realise the full potential of nurses and midwives within our health and social care services. In 2020, we have an opportunity to say thank you to nurses and midwives worldwide for their contribution and celebrate the positive contribution of nurses and midwives. In addition, nurses and midwives globally have a shared agenda that is promoting nursing and midwifery as positive career options; highlighting the need to educate a greater number of future nurses and midwives, and emphasizing the importance of national governments resourcing and creating policies which help support and advance the work of nurses and midwives into the future. The future of nursing is bright; it is incumbent on us all to continue to develop and demonstrate the huge future potential of nurses and midwives across the globe.
