Supporting, Informing, and Connecting Nigerian Nurses across the United Kingdom

Nigerian nurses in the UK, also known as NNUK, is a professional and social platform created by nurses, for nurses. We recognize the unique challenges that Nigerian nurses face when relocating, adapting to the NHS, pursuing professional development, and balancing their work with personal life. Our goal is simple: to empower Nigerian nurses in the UK with valuable information, meaningful connections, and exciting opportunities within the UK nursing community. Join us for NNUK events that foster collaboration and support among fellow nurses.

At NNUK, our vision is to unite and empower the community of Nigerian nurses in the UK, recognizing their excellence, leadership, and significant contributions to healthcare. We envision a future where Nigerian nurses are esteemed and respected members of the UK nursing community, driving positive change, advocating for equitable opportunities, and serving as role models for future generations. Through collaboration, advocacy, and continuous professional development, we aim to enhance the quality of care for all and build a brighter future for Nigerian nurses, while also promoting NNUK events that support this mission.

Support and professionalism are core values upheld by Nigerian nurses, especially those in the UK. The Nigerian Nurses in UK (NNUK) community thrives on integrity, fostering growth through various NNUK events that bring together professionals dedicated to advancing nursing in the UK.

Nigerian nurses in the UK play a vital role in the healthcare system, yet many face unique professional and personal challenges. This community, known as NNUK, was created to: 

• Build strong professional and social connections among Nigerian nurses. 

• Share real, practical knowledge that improves careers within the UK nursing community. 

• Support wellbeing and personal growth for all our members. 

• Celebrate excellence and resilience within our community of Nigerian nurses. 

• Create a safe space for honest conversations through NNUK events.

Our Annual summer event is the flagship gathering for Nigerian nurses in the UK. This event unites nurses from across the country for three powerful days of connection, reflection, and celebration within the UK nursing community. It goes beyond being just a gathering; it is a space where Nigerian nurses feel seen, heard, supported, and inspired, making it one of the most significant NNUK events.

If you have any questions or would like to learn more about Nigerian nurses or any of our NNUK events, please don't hesitate to contact us. We would love to hear from you and connect with the UK nursing community!
