The nursing and midwifery professions have never been more important than they are today, and the RCN Foundation is committed to providing support to the nursing team when they need it most. Our education grants help nurses, midwives, and healthcare support workers develop their practice and boost their clinical expertise, which, in turn, improves delivery of care to patients.

Celebrating excellence in nursing and midwifery

Every year, we celebrate some of the best and brightest that the profession has to offer at our Impact Awards, as well as acknowledging the incredible and invaluable contribution of the many thousands of nursing and midwifery staff who work tirelessly, caring for communities across the UK.

Over the years, RCN Foundation Impact Awards have been hosted by a variety of compères - from Reverend Richard Coles to Shaparak Khorsandi. Likewise, the Impact Awards are attended by some of the most notable figures in nursing and midwifery. In 2024, the awards were attended by Professor Elizabeth Anionwu, Professor Nicola Ranger, and Professor Deborah Sturdy CBE, to name a few.

Watch our 2024 highlights from the evening and get a feel for the event.

Sponsorship

We are seeking companies and organisations to sponsor the RCN Foundation Impact Awards, taking place on 27 March 2025. Nursing and midwifery continues, and will continue, to be at the forefront of the public conscious for time to come. By sponsoring the RCN Foundation Impact Awards, your organisation can demonstrate its affiliation to nursing and midwifery. Not only will you be privy to a wonderful night of celebrating nurses and midwives, but these awards shed light on the diversity and breadth of the professions, and the care they provide daily to our communities.

We have a variety of sponsorship packages available – download our leaflet to find out more. Please note, the platinum package is no longer available.

To discuss the details of the sponsorship proposal further, please contact James Alterman and Tamara Gervasoni.
