Leadership Scholarships

Calling all Professional Healthcare Leaders!

Are you a current nursing, midwifery or allied health professional (AHP) leader or future leader? Would you like to take your career to the next level and be awarded up to £15k to help you?

The Florence Nightingale Foundation is offering scholarships to nurses, midwives and AHPs who want to become leaders with the skills and self-confidence to contribute positively and with some significance to the rapidly changing world of healthcare. These scholarships are also open to Deans and Deputy Deans of Schools Nursing within Universities.

Recipients of the Florence Nightingale Leadership Scholarship undertake a bespoke programme geared to his or her individual needs based on current performance assessment.

Applications are welcomed from those who aspire to a board position or who may already be a director of nursing, a deputy director or assistant director of nursing, heads of midwifery, a nurse and midwifery consultant, a modern matron or a lead allied health care professional. Your organisation is expected to support your application and be of the view that you are capable of being fast-tracked to more senior leadership positions.

The scholarships are made possible thanks to The Burdett Trust’s partnership with the Foundation. This has enabled the Foundation to expand significantly its programme to build leadership capacity in clinical healthcare across the nursing, midwifery and allied healthcare professions.

There are also extra Scholarships available as a result of two new partnerships with:

The London Network for Nurses and Midwives. These are for nurses and midwives who are working within London in an organisation providing patient care funded by the NHS.

Teenage Cancer Trust with the help of the Raisa Gorbachev Foundation. These are for nurses working in the clinical specialty of teenage cancer within an organisation providing NHS funded care anywhere in the UK.
