NEW REPORT: The FNF Think Tank has today published our 3rd national #Preceptorship Pulse Check survey report. With essential evidence for anyone involved in supporting early career development, whether as a preceptee, preceptor, or leader. ➡️ florence-nightingale-foundation.org.uk/preceptorship-…

💚We are delighted to welcome Dame Ruth May, former CNO England (and #FNFScholar), as our new Patron.

5/5 My hope? This research helps create clearer pathways for recognizing international qualifications & experience. These incredible healthcare professionals deserve support to reach their full potential. Read the full report: florence-nightingale-foundation.org.uk/ap_regulation_…

4/5 Key finding: 69% support increased regulation of advanced practice. They see it as a path to better recognition & standardisation of their valuable skills.

1/5 Privileged to author this new @FNightingaleFdn report exploring how internationally educated nurses & midwives experience advanced practice in the UK. Their stories were inspiring & eye-opening 🌍

Found this a devastating read this morning, particularly when considering implications for patient and staff safety. Was especially disheartening to read that many feel unable to speak out, so situation could be even worse. My thoughts are with all those affected
