Nursing Now Challenge Fellowship (NNCF) Programme

Funded by the Burdett Trust for Nursing and managed by THET, the NNCF engages early-career nurses and midwives in low-and-lower middle-income countries (LMICs). Working through Health Partnerships, Fellows can share ideas and experiences with UK nurses and midwives.

LMIC and UK nurses and midwives consistently testify to the added value of cross-border cooperation in their daily work, and to their institutions, by demonstrating improved confidence, leadership, morale, learning and innovation. The Fellowships will combine structured leadership training with the delivery of Quality Improvement projects led by nurses and midwives.

COVID-19 Response Fund

As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to place health systems under immense pressure, we are, more than ever, aware of the value that Health Partnerships bring to the global health community. Thanks to the strong ties of trust, collegiality and professional respect built over years of partnership work, they are well-placed to ensure responses are targeted and focused on local needs.

From the Democratic Republic of Congo to Bangladesh and from Malawi to Somaliland, the COVID-19 Response Fund will enable Health Partnerships to work together to address gaps in skills and knowledge to prevent and treat COVID-19, and support the safety and well-being of health workers in LMICs.

Myanmar Emergency Response Fund

Since the Coup on 1st February 2021, we have seen a rapid and complex deterioration in Myanmar’s health system, with immense disruption to the general population in accessing care.

The Myanmar Emergency Response Fund (MERF) harnesses the power of Health Partnerships to enable the UK to engage with the crisis in Myanmar, supporting health care professionals to respond to the risks presented by the coup, and the ongoing risks of COVID-19.
