The varied expertise of the RCN Foundation's Trustees, Advisers and Patron helps us deliver grants and support to nurses, midwives and health care support workers all around the UK.


The RCN Foundation Board consists of twelve Trustees. Chaired by Professor Jane Cummings, the Board convenes four times a year. 


Their work is supported by External Advisers, who sit on our Committees: Grants, Appointments and Income Generation & Investment.


Our work as a whole is championed by our Patron, the acclaimed author and former paediatrics nurse, Christie Watson.
