The Dame Elizabeth Anionwu fellowship

The Dame Anionwu Fellowships will provide a bespoke programme with a focus on Leadership for Inclusivity based on the values of Dame Elizabeth. Dame Elizabeth is a British nurse and Emeritus Professor of Nursing and became the UK's first sickle-cell nurse in 1978. Dame Elizabeth is also an Honorary Advisor to the CNO BME Strategic Advisory Group. This programme will align with the Dame Elizabeth Anionwu annual lecture for inclusivity in Nursing and Midwifery. The aim of the awards is to provide a bespoke leadership programme, which supports the delivery of the national WRES action plan in relation to access to training opportunities, the provision of equal opportunities for career progression or promotion and fair access to career progression.
