Would you like to attend the Institute of Improvement International Forum in April?

December 27, 2023

NHS England’s National Nursing Directorate is sponsoring seven fully funded spaces for early career and newly qualified nurses and midwives to attend the institute for healthcare improvement (IHI) forum on quality and safety from 10 – 12 April in London.

This is an excellent development opportunity for the early career nurses and midwives to increase their knowledge, skills, and experience in quality improvement aimed at improving patient care and outcomes. Applicants will also hear about and learn from the latest and best evidence, research and examples of QI practice that will inspire and motivate them. At the forum early career nurses and midwives will have a chance to share ideas, information and learning from others’ experiences.

The proposed funding stream includes:

  • Three places funded by the safety, improvement and innovation team who lead on the national QI networks
  • Three places funded by Duncan Burton and the nursing and midwifery retention/workforce budget
  • One place to be sponsored by the chief midwifery officer

We would like to share our application support pack for early career and newly qualified nurses and midwives who wish to apply for sponsorship to attend the Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI) forum and applicants are required to meet the eligibility criteria and respond to the questions provided in the application form and provide a supportive statement IHI Forum – Application Form.

For further details please see IHI Application Pack.

A panel will be established to assess all applications and the closing date is Wednesday 20 January.

The application process will result in the selection of seven candidates, ensuring inclusion of at least one midwife and three international nurses. We aim to share the list of confirmed participants by the end of February, giving colleagues six week notice for rostering.
