Future Nurse is looking at how digitising nurse clinical guidance and education can enhance patient safety and nurses’ experiences by improving the use of evidence-based practice.
About the Digital Pilots Programme
The Future Nurse Digital Pilots Programme looks to help nursing teams discover how to use digital platforms to improve nurse access to research and knowledge.
If you are a trailblazing organization keen to be part of this we will help you become part of a wider cohort – we have teamed with VAR Healthcare to help pilot sites explore digitised nurse guidance and education.
Our programme will make it easier and cheaper for teams to adopt market leading solutions, where we support you through the pilot process.

“As a nurse of 30 years I’ve seen how having access to evidence-based practice allows our profession to provide greater patient-centred care. The Digital Pilots Programme has been designed with nursing teams in mind to ensure our profession has access to the latest knowledge and learning to maximise their potential.”
Professor Natasha Phillips Founder and CEO of Future Nurse
