AI does not write, complete or rewrite a colleague’s message.
Recognition days · Coming up
Nurses Day.
Across every shift.
International Nurses Day is 12 May. Plan a colleague-to-colleague thank you that includes every shift, with personal messages kept separate from patient information.

International Nurses Day
A thank you that fits the rota.
A ward or community team may never be in the same room at once. Choose recognition people can take part in without missing work or disclosing patient details.
- 01
A card across day and night
Share the writing link through an agreed staff channel and leave it open across the rota. Do not use attendance at a single meeting as the measure of participation.
- 02
A mentor or preceptor
Invite colleagues who learned from the person. Keep clinical cases, patient names and identifiable circumstances out of the messages.
- 03
A team beyond one ward
Community, outpatient and support colleagues may share the work. If the card is for that team, include them in the invitation rather than assuming one location covers everyone.
- 04
A handover that includes thanks
Use an existing staff moment if the team wants it. Keep the card opening brief and arrange cover for people who would otherwise miss it.
- 05
A private delivery
Ask the recipient or team how they want to read the card. Recognition does not need a photograph, social post or public speech.
The organiser’s list
Before the rota turns.
Use your employer’s approved routes for staff communication. Do not put patient or clinical information into the card, even when a story feels complimentary.
- Include all shifts in the writing window.
- Keep patient information out of contributions.
- Ask the team how they want it delivered.
- Arrange cover for any gathering.
- Review flagged notes before the card closes.
AI safety checks
People write.
AI checks.
The check looks for threats, abuse, sexual content, spam and exposed private details. Flagged notes are kept off the card for a person to review.
How the checks work ↗A person can correct it
Company cards have a spam folder for managers and admins. On a card bought without an account, the creator reviews set aside notes through their manage link.
The limits are clear
AI can miss a note or flag one wrongly. If the check is unavailable, writing still works.
Check the data policy
Notes are sent to TypeSafe for the check. Names and card access codes are left out of that request.
Read the privacy notice ↗From an occasion to a card
Give them
everyone’s words.
- 01
Create the card
Pick a cover, name the recipient and choose when it opens. You can buy one card without a company account.
- 02
Share the writing link
Colleagues contribute in a browser. Each person writes and signs their own message.
- 03
They open it on the day
The messages arrive together in one card. The recipient reads it on their phone.
For repeated birthdays, work anniversaries, welcomes and leaving days, use a company account with Slack and BambooHR.

When is International Nurses Day?
12 May every year, according to the International Council of Nurses. The next date after this guide’s check is 12 May 2027.
Can the night team sign?
Yes. They contribute through the browser writing link when their shift allows.
Does AI make a card suitable for clinical information?
No. Keep patient and clinical information out. AI checks can miss private details and are not a substitute for your organisation’s rules.
Include the people on every rota.
