An event on the eve of this year's Anzac Day will celebrate the role of nurses in both military and civilian service, with a special focus on the Royal New Zealand Nursing Corps.

A commemorative bronze plaque is being unveiled in their honour, at Art of Remembrance 2025, at Kāhui St David's in Grafton in Auckland.

Georgina Greville is a senior nurse at Middlemore Hospital. Her grandmother and her great aunt were both nurses who served in World War I and she joins Susie from our Auckland studio.
