Supporting Nurses and Midwives Across the Globe to Develop Knowledge and Skills in Leading Change

The Nursing Now global campaign, working together with the IHI Open School and others  wants to make sure that all nurses and midwives across the globe, in every role at every level, are skilled and supported to develop and strengthen nursing practice, mobilise others and really make change happen.

The change skills that you will learn by completing the IHI Opens School modules offered free to all nurses and midwives complement other methods and approaches such as quality improvement, Lean methodology, programme management, and culture change.
