This May we are proud to launch our brand-new Nursing and Midwifery Strategy which sits alongside the Trust’s strategy ‘Our future FHFT’ and sets out an exciting vision for our nursing and midwifery workforce:
To provide our patients and communities with research based, outstanding care by highly skilled, well supported, valued professionals across all care settings.
