Florence Nightingale Foundation

Every day, nurses and midwives change lives, bringing compassion, skill and leadership to patients, families and communities - often under immense pressure. Strong nursing and midwifery leadership is vital to better care, stronger teams and healthier communities, yet it remains underfunded and undervalued. That’s why the Florence Nightingale Foundation exists.

 

For more than 90 years, we’ve honoured Florence Nightingale’s legacy by investing in nurses and midwives as leaders across the UK and internationally. We support nurses and midwives at every stage of their careers - from newly qualified professionals to those shaping services and systems at the highest level - helping them stay, thrive, lead and transform health and care. One investment in one nurse or midwife creates a powerful ripple effect: better leadership, better care, and lasting impact for all of us.
