Fellow Nurses Africa News || 2 July, 2025

On June 27, 2025, the University of Derby celebrated the graduation of approximately 580 internationally qualified nurses from its nursing top-up programs, a vibrant moment of pride and achievement.

Enrolled about two years ago, these nurses pursued either accelerated or standard tracks to suit their professional goals. Remarkably, over 80% of the graduates were from African nations, with 51% (around 298 nurses) from Nigeria alone, showcasing their commitment to advancing their careers and enhancing UK healthcare.

These NMC-accredited programs, costing at least £5,000 GBP per student (£840 per module), empower nurses with advanced clinical and leadership skills while contributing to the local economy. The ceremony buzzed with emotion, as graduates enjoyed speeches, selfies, and new friendships. University Chancellor William Cavendish and Vice-Chancellor Professor Kathryn Mitchell commended the nurses’ dedication, encouraging them to stay connected for ongoing support.

Pauline Latham OBE, honored for her public service, shared her inspiring journey from Derbyshire Councillor (1987) to MP for Mid Derbyshire (2010-2024), motivating the graduates. These nurses are well-equipped to address NHS staffing shortages, though challenges like NMC registration delays remain. With training in evidence-based practice and interprofessional care, they are set to elevate patient-centered care across the UK.

We celebrates these graduates and encourages nurses to continue to explore more of programs like this for career advancement.
