We are extremely excited to join forces with QARANC Association to provide army nurses an opportunity to benefit from senior leadership support.
QARANC Association have joined forces with the Florence Nightingale Foundation to offer this career development opportunity to army nurses. The programme, fully funded will offer army nurses bespoke leadership development to develop as future leaders of healthcare in the capital. Applications are now closed. Who is it for? The Florence Nightingale Foundation/ Army Nurse Emerging Leader Scholarship is for registered SNCO nurses and OF1-3 Nursing Officers. The aim of the scholarship is to enhance patient care by investing in nurses to pioneer changes and improvements in patient health through clinical leadership, professional learning networks, opportunities, personal presence and impact development and a military patient improvement project.
Since 1929, the Florence Nightingale Foundation has been committed to advancing the study of nursing and midwifery practice, promoting excellence and preparing nurses and midwives to follow in the footsteps of its namesake, to provide the best possible care to patients across the UK. All costs are funded for you including refreshments and lunches for the cohort days, overnight accommodation, refreshments and dinner for the residential programme, course fees for RADA and entry to Westminster Abbey.
