Some 84% of nurses and midwives reported a decline in their mental health in the past year (Ref: State of Nursing Report 2022). Research shows a strong connection between the quality of patient and health care and the emotional and mental well-being of health and care staff. Yet career development for nurses and midwives is not structured or funded like it is for other medical professionals.

Our Nightingale Frontline® service launched in April 2020, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, to provide a support service for nurses and midwives across the UK. At that time, our goal was to provide emotional well-being support for all nurses and midwives as they battled the unprecedented demands of the pandemic on a daily basis. Today the service remains in very high demand.
