Why this procedure was chosen
The Florence Nightingale Foundation (FNF) provides a unique, nationally recognised leadership development programme for nurses and midwives that no other provider can match in scope, credibility, and impact. Integrating this scholarship into HEIW’s leadership strategy will strengthen succession planning and retention, addressing critical challenges in recruiting senior nursing leaders within NHS Wales. The programme’s proven track record, evidence-based approach, and global networking opportunities deliver exceptional value for money by equipping participants with advanced leadership skills to improve patient care, organisational efficiency, and workforce resilience. A direct award is justified as there is no comparable alternative capable of delivering these outcomes.
