Florence Nightingale Foundation launches new five-year strategy

The Florence Nightingale Foundation has unveiled ambitious plans to grow its reach – supporting one million nurses and midwives around the world to forge their own leadership path and blaze a trail for better health and care – in its new five-year strategy.

Its new ‘2022-2027 Strategy Improving Care and Saving Lives: A Million Nurse and Midwife Leaders’ was released at the end of January and focuses on five specific priorities.

The key areas are:

·       Supporting, Developing and Transforming Compassionate Leaders

To provide contemporary, relevant and bespoke FNF leadership development opportunities for one million nurses and midwives in the UK and across the world

·       Influencing Policy

To be recognised as a provider of independent analysis on issues which impact on the ability of nurses and midwives to deliver high-quality care nationally and globally

·       Promoting Evidence Based Practice

To support a learning culture of evidence based practice across health and care systems

·       Growing FNF Academy Membership

To develop our membership offer to meet the needs of our UK and global members to increase reach to one million nurses and midwives

·       Creating a Financial, Social, Cultural & Environmentally Sustainable Future

To ensure a sustainable future is at the heart of all that we do.

A spokesman for the organisation said: “It’s a difficult time for nurses and midwives, in the UK and globally: we know the pressures and we know we can help.

“All of our nurses and midwives on our scholarships and leadership programmes tell us repeatedly what difference it’s made to their career, and also to their teams and to those that they care for.”
