Florence Nightingale Foundation (FNF) supports nurses and midwives to promote health, improve care and save lives. As a UK-based charity we are working across the UK and internationally to reach one million nurses and midwives by 2027. Experience shows us the transformation that is possible when FNF enable nurses and midwives to connect, lead, and influence healthcare.

FNF’s focus is on improving health, clinical outcomes and patient experience, through building nursing and midwifery leadership capacity and capability. We do this by enabling nurses and midwives to access sophisticated leadership development opportunities, both in the UK and overseas, tailored to the participants’ needs.

We also work to convene and support nurses and midwives to shape the health and care policy agenda, and create a future where nursing and midwifery perspectives are valued and policies are informed by our professions’ evidence, expertise and needs. We are a voice for the nursing and midwifery professions.
