New year, new programmes! Our leadership programmes have been described as ‘transformational’ – and with good reason. They help develop, support and retain nurses and midwives, and strengthen individuals, teams and organisations.
FNF leadership programmes help strengthen participants’ ability to lead and influence, and ultimately improve care and save lives. There is something for everyone, with discounts often available for FNF Academy Members.
Some programmes are open for applications from individuals and some programmes are open to group booking/commissions for your workforce. Find out more below.
