Aim of the Florence Nightingale Foundation Student Voice Champions Online Programme

To support growth of leadership competence and confidence of students across the South East, NHS England Workforce, Training and Education, in partnership with the Florence Nightingale Foundation, would like to offer learners on pre-registration healthcare courses the opportunity to undertake a student leadership module.

This exciting programme is fully funded and is aimed at learners who are members of Integrated Care System (ICS) or Care Provider student councils. It will also be of interest to learners who have an interest in supporting the work of ICS’s or care providers by representing the learner voice and contributing to shared decision on matters which affect their education and future careers making via more informal mechanisms.
