We're On A Journey To Nursing & Midwifery Excellence

Here at Gateshead NHS Foundation Trust, we are delighted to be working towards Nursing and Midwifery Excellence supported by #TeamCNO (NHS England and NHS Improvement).

Global Pathway to Excellence (P2E) is a component of the Shared Governance: Collective Leadership (SG: CL) programme which leads the delivery of the Chief Nursing Officer (CNO) for England’s vision of one collective professional voice. A national vision to bring together a collective leadership model encompassing shared decision making approaches, with a focus on transformational leadership, research and innovation within which everyone has a voice, no matter where they work, or the role they undertake.

The Pathway to Excellence accreditation programme is a proven framework for creating positive practice environments. This is measured with 6 practice standards:

1. Shared decision making
2. Leadership
3. Safety
4. Quality
5. Well being
6. Professional development

The programme aims to empower Nurses and Midwives, giving frontline staff a voice, creating a positive culture through shared decision making and strong leadership at all levels.

As we celebrate the year of the nurse and the midwife there is no better time to be starting this journey and we welcome you to join us on our Pathway to Nursing and Midwifery Excellence. The Pathway to Excellence programme is delivered by the American Nurses Credentialing Centre (ANCC).
