As the backbone of our healthcare systems globally, nurses deserve more recognition for the difference they make to lives every single day.

For Nurses' Day this year, we鈥檙e highlighting one of our incredible nursing apprenticeships lecturers, Mandeep Lally, who features as one of 75 incredible women in the book 75 Years, 75 Women, 75 Words. The book celebrates 75 years of India鈥檚 independence and features extraordinary women who are flourishing in both India and in the UK.

Conceived by the Deputy High Commissioner Caroline Rowett, the book is an initiative of the The British Deputy High Commission, Chandigarh, which represents the UK Government in Chandigarh. Among those featured are artists, politicians, entrepreneurs, activists and educators.

Mandeep鈥檚 profile in the book explores her roots, from being born in England to studying in India and back again in her adult years. It also discusses her work as a nurse in hospital wards and passion for driving change within the community.

"As a nurse I have had the opportunity to not just be a part of, but witness so many patients鈥� lives change through the passion and care provided by nurses each and every day," said Mandeep.

"Nursing is not just another profession, it鈥檚 a passion, one that is instilled in every individual nurse, a humbling and compassionate job that is ever so rewarding."
