Introductions and context setting

The submission deadline 28th May 2026
The Florence Nightingale Foundation (FNF) is leading a policy and research project exploring how the UK can better retain, develop, and learn from internationally educated nurses and midwives (IENMs).

While political focus has shifted away from international recruitment, tens of thousands of IENMs already work in the UK—yet too many leave the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) register prematurely. We want to understand why, and develop practical, evidence-based solutions to:
  • Improve retention and career progression
  • Unlock leadership potential
  • Strengthen global learning and connections
We are inviting initial case study submissions to showcase what you are doing to support IENMs with retention and development.

👉 Please note: not all submissions will be featured in the report. However, all submissions will inform the findings and recommendations of our national report, ensuring your input helps shape the wider agenda.


This form should take approximately 15–20 minutes to complete, depending on the level of detail you choose to provide. If you experience any technical difficulties or have any questions, please contact us at policy@florence-nightingale-foundation.org.uk
