The Amin Abdullah RCN Foundation Grant has been established by the RCN Foundation thanks to the support of the friends and family of the late Amin Abdullah.
This annual grant will support a nurse-led project which explores issues related to nurse wellbeing, such as the strategies registered nurses use to compassionately support each other to maintain high standards of patient safety within clinical nursing practice, despite the challenges they may face to achieve this. The grant is open to registered nurses from across the UK. Grants of up to £1,000 will be awarded annually.
The grant will be awarded through a competitive process and a panel will decide on the outcome.

Amin Abdullah fulfilled his life's ambition to become a nurse and won an award during his training. He was admired by his colleagues and loved by his patients. He sadly took his own life in 2016 following his unjust dismissal from his NHS employer.
This grant is proudly supported by the British Indian Nurses' Association.
