abstract

The Opening ceremonies of what many consider the greatest show on earth took place on Friday 27 July and hundreds of nurses took part. Many were chosen for a special sequence dedicated to NHS workers. Others, however, were chosen to interact with audience members as a result of some of the same attributes that make nurses uniquely qualified to deliver patient care. Kath Lynch, a clinical lead nurse at the Royal Free Travel Health Centre, was one of the selected few and was even honoured for her enthusiasm with four real Olympic medals.
