NHS England South East, Canterbury Christ Church University (CCCU) and the Florence Nightingale Foundation (FNF) are pleased to support a second cohort of Fellowship opportunities for Nurses, Midwives, and Allied Health Professionals (AHPs) wanting to improve practice education across the South East region of England.
We are pleased to be supporting a second cohort of Clinical Education Improvement Fellows (CEIF) for 2022/23. Over a period of 12 months, 10 professionals already working in the South East region are completing this fellowship opportunity.
The 2022 cohort includes registered nurses, allied health professionals and a midwife. The CEIFs are working across clinical practice and healthcare education, developing system-level skills, supporting students and healthcare staff in a variety of settings.

More detail on CEIF Projects will be shared here in the coming months.
The Fellows have joined the Florence Nightingale Leadership Development programme to explore and discover their leadership style and develop the essential skills to be a courageous and confident leader.
The programme is a blended experience of both face-to-face and virtual sessions.
I aspire to expand and pursue clinical leadership opportunities that will allow me to empower the next generation of NHS workforce.
I believe that this fellowship opportunity has given me the impetus to make a difference and leave an impact for others to shape and grow.
