Designated as ‘2020 The International year of the nurse and the midwife’, the celebrations didn’t quite go as expected. However, for nursing and midwifery it became the ‘Perfect Storm’, where nurses and midwives at all levels were empowered to work in innovative ways, demonstrating their creativity, leadership, advocacy and partnership working skills. As the world moves towards the ‘new normal’ we reflect on learning from the covid-19 pandemic and using the Nightingale Challenge Northern Ireland Global Leadership Development Programme as a case study of exceptional practice, we explore how up-skilling young nurses and midwives in a range of skills such as leadership, policy-making, advocacy, Quality Improvement, etc empowers and equips them as global change agents fit for the future.
After this session, participants will be able to:
- Understand why we must advocate for investment in developing young nursing and midwifery leaders all around the world
- Articulate the leadership skills needed by the future generation of nursing and midwifery leaders
- Take away learning from the experiences of global young nurse leaders from the Nightingale Challenge Northern Ireland
