Evaluations

The ultimate purpose of FoNS is to improve patient care. We are dedicated to working with nurses and healthcare teams to develop and share innovative ways of improving practice, thereby enabling them to provide care that is high quality, evidence based and meets the needs of patients.

We aim to achieve this by:

• Working directly with nurses in practice, helping them to focus on patients, their needs and their care
• Creating access to development and funding opportunities
• Giving nurses and other healthcare practitioners, easy access to information, resources and networking opportunities through our virtual Centre for Nursing Innovation

FoNS is committed to evaluating the impact of its work with the purpose of informing and improving future activities. A number of evaluation reports are available to download in PDF format by clicking on the links below:
