Advisory Board

We are delighted to be supported by the 2026 Nursing Leaders Advisory Board, a group of senior figures chosen for their expertise and commitment to advancing nursing across health and social care.

Representing NHS, local authority and independent social care settings, alongside digital and policy leaders, the Board brings strategic insight into the challenges shaping the profession. Their guidance ensures the programme reflects the realities of system reform, workforce pressures and innovation, and remains aligned with the leadership required to drive meaningful change across health and social care.
