Nursing Now Challenge Fellowship Programme
The Nursing Now Challenge Fellowship Programme aims to build the leadership of early-career nurses and midwives in Africa and Asia, in alignment with the Nursing Now Challenge.
Nursing Now Challenge Fellowship - Quality Improvement Project Presentations
As part of our Nursing Now Challenge Fellowship programme, early-career nurses and midwives led Quality Improvement projects. The ‘NNC Fellowship – QI Project Presentations Days’ held in early December 2022 was an opportunity for all Fellows to present their Quality Improvement Projects, their progress to date, and challenges faced, and for everyone involved in the programme to celebrate their amazing accomplishments.

DAY 1 | NNC Fellowship – Quality Improvement Project Presentations
DAY 2 | NNC Fellowship – Quality Improvement Project Presentations
DAY 3 | NNC Fellowship – Quality Improvement Project Presentations
Funded by the Burdett Trust for Nursing and managed by THET, the NNCF engages early-career nurses and midwives in low-and-lower middle-income countries (LMICs). Working through Health Partnerships, Fellows can share ideas and experiences with UK nurses and midwives
LMIC and UK nurses and midwives consistently testify to the added value of cross-border cooperation in their daily work, and to their institutions, by demonstrating improved confidence, leadership, morale, learning and innovation. The Fellowships will combine structured leadership training with the delivery of Quality Improvement (QI) projects led by nurses and midwives.
THE PROGRAMME
The programme aims to:
- Increase leadership (confidence, competence and capability) of participating nurses and midwives, enabling them to be more effective and increase their leadership, influencing and decision-making abilities.
- Raise the status of nursing and midwifery within Health Partnerships and within their multi-disciplinary teams.
- Raise the status of women, who comprise the majority of the nursing and midwifery cadres, within the health workforce.
- Improve quality of global health projects undertaken by health partnerships, and thus partnerships’ outcomes and impact.
THET is working in partnership with Ubora Quality Institute and University of Global Health Equity to provide the Leadership and Quality Improvement training to the early-career nurses and midwives involved in the Nursing Now Challenge Fellowship programme.
