Falkirk residents are being given the chance to thank local NHS staff and recall the challenges they've faced over the past 12 months in a book of reflection.
The book has been specially designed by the Royal College of Nursing and will travel across the Forth Valley, including Forth Valley Royal Hospital, and the four community hospitals.
Those who came up with the idea hope it will collect as many signature and memories as possible, as it was unveiled on International Nurses day.
The RCN has also asked for one of the hospital chaplains to lead a minute’s silence for those who have lost their lives during the coronavirus pandemic.
NHS Forth Valley Nurse Director, Professor Angela Wallace, said: "As we celebrate International Nurses’ Day I want to say a huge and heartfelt thank you to all our nurses for the care, comfort and support given to the people of Forth Valley in what has been one of the most difficult and most challenging years in living memory.
"The Covid-19 pandemic and how nurses have responded to it has demonstrated the importance and impact of nursing across the world.
"The blend and balance of care and compassion, knowledge and skills and of creating new ways of working and supporting so many has been absolutely remarkable.
"There aren’t enough words to describe the outstanding work of local staff."
