King’s nurses partner Johns Hopkins to drive patient care

The Florence Nightingale School of Nursing and Midwifery and the School of Nursing at Johns Hopkins University are to form an international collaboration to drive the boundaries of nurse-led care and clinical research, and deliver benefits to patients in both the UK and the USA.

The partnership aims to strengthen research and education at both institutions through joint research projects, as well as faculty, staff and student exchanges. The collaboration will also involve closer working between the two organisations’ other clinical partners, including Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust and the Johns Hopkins Department of Nursing.
