Mount Kenya University and Bradford District Care NHS Foundation Trust have come together to develop an International Junior Nurse Fellowship (IJNF) in response to the Nursing Now Challenge. This 12-month fellowship programme will be delivered virtually with early career nurses and student nurses learning and sharing together as a joint cohort across both countries. Each participant must have support from their line manager/academic tutor for protected time of one day each month to attend each virtual workshop. As part of the fellowship each individual will produce a robust research proposal (which they will implement during the 12 months) to enable a fantastic opportunity to feed outputs back into their respective organisations and share across the NNC global platform. Learners will continue their academic studies if a student and remain in their substantive post if a BDCFT registered nurse/nursing associate. The first cohort will be limited to 10 registered nurses/nursing associates from BDCFT and 10 senior nursing students from Kenya.
