The Florence Nightingale Foundation (FNF) is a charity organization in the United Kingdom that provides scholarships to nurses, midwives, and other health professionals.
In 1912, a memorial to Florence Nightingale was first proposed by Mrs. Ethel Bedford-Fenwick at an International Council of Nurses Congress in Cologne.
The Florence Nightingale Foundation now provides scholarships to post-graduate nurses, midwives, and other health professionals in the United Kingdom.
The Florence Nightingale Foundation Presentation of Certificates is held bi-annually and acts as the graduation ceremony for completed scholars.
In 2014, the Foundation’s Patron Sir Robert Francis, was the keynote speaker and described Florence Nightingale scholars as the ‘future leaders of the profession’.
