Isle of Man Post Office has launched a special stamp issue marking Year of the Nurse and Midwife 2020.
The set of eight images captures the different spheres of nursing in the Island, highlighting the contribution of nurses and midwives to modern day health practices, and the professional care provided to the community.
Each stamp has been selected to represent the eight main sectors of nursing within the Island and also feature Nelly Brennan, Esther Jane Bridson and Sarah Forester – three nurses who were pivotal in the development of nursing in the Isle of Man.
The stamp issue has been designed locally by Dave Macdonald of DM Design.
