Mary Seacole Scholarships

Descriptions

Mary Seacole was a British-Jamaican nurse and businesswoman who set up the British Hotel behind the lines during the Crimean War. She displayed compassion, skill and bravery while nursing soldiers during the Crimean War. The scholarships are intended to celebrate the life of Mary Seacole while underpinning the values by which she lived and worked. This procurement is for the provision of the Mary Seacole Scholarships which offer leadership development to nurses and midwives working in publicly funded services and through the quality improvement projects which are a key part of the programme seek to improve the health outcomes and reduce the inequalities experienced by BAME communities. Originally developed by the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) the programme will have the support of the Royal College of Nursing (RCN), Royal College of Midwives (RCM), Unite and Unison to ensure the best possible learning and development experience for the scholars.
