Impact

Investing in nursing and midwifery and midwife leadership has a transformative impact.

At FNF, we believe that strong nursing and midwifery leadership saves lives. Through building our professions’ leadership capacity and capability, and through influencing health and care policy, thousands of nurses and midwives are driving change in their communities, improving outcomes, and shaping the future of care.

Feedback also shows how our work is influencing intention to stay in the professions, improving workforce health and wellbeing, and supporting career progression.

Experience shows us the transformation that is possible when FNF enables nurses and midwives to connect, lead, and influence health and care.

You can read more about FNF’s impact in our 2024-2025 Annual Report which can be downloaded below. You can also read more about our Star Alumni here, and Scholar Publications page here.

“While nurses, midwives, and AHPs naturally have a clinical focus, leadership must develop alongside this. We’ve seen first-hand how these programmes not only support individuals but also strengthen the organisation as a whole. Great leadership is about empowering the right people, and this is central to our growing culture of improvement at NWAngliaFT. Those who have completed the FNF programme are now pivotal in that journey. They bring fresh insight, analytical thinking, and a set of leadership tools that are already making a difference. Leadership also requires courage, the willingness to step above the parapet and take risks to shape care for the future. I ask all our FNF graduates to ‘pass it on’ to role model, to mentor, and to inspire others.”
