June 2021 will mark a new beginning for the Nightingale Challenge as it becomes the “Nursing Now Challenge”, under the continued leadership of Professor Lisa Bayliss-Pratt at Coventry University, in partnership with Health Education England, THET and funded by The Burdett Trust for Nursing.
The Nursing Now Challenge will carry forward the mandate of the Nightingale Challenge, and will work with health employers around the world to create leadership development opportunities for 100,000 nurses and midwives in more than 150 countries by the end of 2022.
The Nursing Now Challenge Board will provide strategic advice and guide the direction of this ambitious programme. The Board will consist of existing Nursing Now Board members and two new early-career nurses and/ or midwives.
We would like to appoint two new early-career nurses and/ or midwives to the Nursing Now Challenge Board, giving them the opportunity to play a lead role in shaping the strategic direction of the Nursing Now Challenge and influencing the future of early-career leadership development in the nursing and midwifery professions.
