H0869 - Scholarship Programme Supporting NHS Wales Leadership Development - FNF

Health Education and Improvement Wales (HEIW) has awarded a contract via Single Tender Action (STA‑869) to the Florence Nightingale Foundation (FNF) for the provision of a three‑year leadership scholarship programme for nurses and midwives across Wales. The scholarship will support four participants per year to undertake an established and nationally recognised advanced leadership development programme designed to strengthen leadership capability within the NHS Wales nursing and midwifery workforce.

The Florence Nightingale Foundation is the sole provider of this scholarship programme, which is uniquely positioned within the UK to offer a high‑quality, evidence‑based leadership development experience delivered through a UK‑wide and international network. Their programme enables participants to develop enhanced leadership, transformational, and system‑wide influence skills while engaging with peers from across the health sector. The programme is recognised for cultivating future senior nursing and midwifery leaders and supporting long‑term succession planning within NHS Wales.
