The Florence Nightingale Foundation (FNF) builds on the enduring legacy of Florence Nightingale, supporting nurses and midwives across the UK and globally to become strong, influential and confident leaders. We develop nurse and midwife leaders at every career stage, enabling them to stay, thrive, lead and transform health and care.

Through our high-impact leadership programmes, independent and trusted voice, member engagement and growing alumni network, we create a ripple effect of change. Every nurse or midwife we support is equipped to drive improvements that extend beyond themselves – across teams, organisations and the patients and communities they serve.

FNF brings together nurses and midwives from across sectors and career stages into a connected community of leaders who feel supported, valued and inspired to make a difference.
