We are pleased to announce that the Healthcare Master’s Programs at the University of Parma have established an important partnership with the prestigious Florence Nightingale Foundation (FNF), an organization dedicated to the development of nursing leadership, the improvement of care, and the promotion of advanced education at the international level.
Founded in 1934, the FNF is a world-renowned charity whose institutional mission is to pass on to future generations the knowledge and experience developed by Florence Nightingale, the pioneer of nursing science, admired and respected worldwide.
The Foundation pursues this important responsibility through a variety of strategies aimed at developing leadership and research skills among nurses and midwives.
Thanks to this affiliation, the Healthcare Master’s Programs will become part of a global network that promotes leadership, innovation, professional development, and influence on healthcare policy. Through this partnership, students will have access to a wide repository of free online courses and, if selected, the opportunity to take part in the FNF Leadership Programme, as well as to attend the Florence Nightingale Commemoration Service, held every year on May 12th—International Nurses Day—at Westminster Abbey in London.
Through the FNF network, students and faculty will gain access to:
- International and leadership development programs;
- Training events and policy forums;
- Collaborations with leading professionals and institutions.
This collaboration strengthens our commitment to international education, offering new opportunities for growth and cultural exchange:
- Enhanced learning: content and methodologies inspired by international standards of excellence.
- Networking and global outlook: access to a worldwide community of professionals.
- Visibility and prestige: recognition of the international profile of our Master’s Programs.
“Becoming affiliated with a historic institution of such scientific value as the Florence Nightingale Foundation once again highlights our concrete commitment to offering our students and the professionals who contribute to the success of our Master’s Programs valuable opportunities for growth within an international perspective.”
— Prof. Antonio Bonacaro, Head of the Healthcare Master’s Programs
