Windrush nurses and midwives leadership programme

Health Education England have partnered with the Florence Nightingale Foundation to offer an exciting career development opportunity to recognise the contribution of Windrush nurses and midwives across the NHS.

The programme is fully funded by Health Education England. It offers 44, band 5, 6 and 7 nurses and midwives from a Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic background bespoke leadership development to become Florence Nightingale Foundation Nurses and Midwives, and to develop as future leaders of healthcare. The programme is to celebrate those who arrived on HMT Empire Windrush. Windrush nurses and midwives were, and their descendants remain, major contributors to the NHS workforce and we want to acknowledge their contribution to healthcare.

The programme is open to nurses and midwives who are descendants of the Windrush generation or who are from an ethnic minority background.

All costs are funded for you, including refreshments and lunches for the face-to-face sessions, overnight accommodation, refreshments and dinner for the residential programme, course fees for RADA and entry to Westminster Abbey for our annual commemoration service.
