Nurses and Midwives Global Leadership Development Programme
2020 Nightingale Challenge Northern Ireland
Nightingale Challenge Northern Ireland Global Leadership Development Programme was launched
at the beginning of 2020, International Year of the Nurse and Midwife. The aim of the programme
is to develop nurses and midwives leadership, policy making, quality improvement and partnership
working skills in-line with the principles of both the global campaign Nursing Now and Nursing Now

As part of the global 2020 Nightingale Challenge, 6 young Registered Nurses and Midwives (under
35 years) within the Trust are registered on the programme. Through their participation, the aim is to
build a cadre of strong, politically astute young nursing and midwifery leaders, well positioned to play
a full part in strengthening nursing and midwifery in Northern Ireland and beyond.
