The Student Leadership Programme aimed to promote and develop leadership skills among the future nursing, midwifery, and AHP workforce by working with first- and second-year pre-registration students. Informed by a student survey and input from the project advisory group, the programme was co-designed with students to focus on areas not covered in existing pre-registration curricula. Over 450 students from across the UK had completed the programme, with their experiences shared through blogs and the #150Leaders podcasts.
The Programme included:
- conferences and events with tailored workshops, lectures and seminars led by individuals in a leadership position
- a coaching scheme with access to individuals who are visionary leaders, thinkers, creators and front runners in their own respective disciplines (within the health and care sector)
- an online community of practice where students can interact and debate relevant topics and issues as sharing and learning from each other is strongly encouraged.

Following eight incredibly successful years, the Burdett Trust for Nursing has concluded its funding of the #150Leaders Student Leadership Programme. The Council is deeply appreciative of the support from the Burdett Trust for Nursing over an extended period that has allowed us to develop and improve the Programme over successive cohorts. We are also grateful for the support and financial contribution from NHS England which enabled additional students to participate in the programme. Read the announcement in full.
