Nursing Now Challenge and The Global Health Network announce co-launch of groundbreaking global work: The 1,000 Challenge
Date: 26 June 2023
As healthcare leaders and innovators, Nursing Now Challenge and The Global Health Network have joined forces to lead on the development of priority issues for communities around the world, in the commitment to advance Health for All.
Named The 1,000 Challenge: Research, Leadership, Impact, the project is a call out to 1,000 nurses, midwives, community health workers and their respective students in low-resource settings to identify and be supported in solving challenging healthcare issues where they live and work.
Through these studies, the partnership will serve to empower nurses and provide opportunities for leadership and career development, as well as equip them to improve health outcomes in their communities.
Launching in September 2023, Nursing Now Challenge and The Global Health Network came together to recognise and tackle the stark inequity that currently exists in research – specifically who leads and who directly benefits from studies and their findings. It was acknowledged that nurses, midwives, and community health workers are frequently cited in work, but all too often not given the guidance or tools to lead research itself.
