TruMerit and International Council of Nurses Launch Collaborative to Propel Nursing Workforce Development Worldwide
NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK / ACCESS Newswire / March 19, 2025 / TruMerit™ (formerly CGFNS International) and the International Council of Nurses (ICN) have announced the launch of a jointly operated clearinghouse for research, data, and policy solutions on the world's nursing workforce.
The new collaborative, the Global Nursing Workforce Centre, will address the absence of a central repository to aggregate and analyze this knowledge and highlight gaps. It will mobilize evidence-driven capacity building strategies and policy solutions aimed at strengthening the global nursing workforce and, with that, the quality of patient care across diverse health systems.
Focusing on the contributions of the nursing profession to global healthcare workforce preparedness, the Centre will undertake a comprehensive research agenda spanning education, workforce conditions, care delivery models, and health system impact worldwide.
The Centre will also generate its own policy briefs and reports that translate evidence into actionable recommendations. The launch included the release of its inaugural research product, "The Nursing Education Pipeline: A literature review from 2014 to 2025," the first of what will be a series of briefs on the state of global nursing. The brief highlights gaps in available research, particularly about the bottlenecks hindering efforts to improve access to nursing education, which fuels nursing workforce growth and development.
The Centre will be guided by a strategic advisory council comprising eminent nursing experts from around the world.
"While the world does not lack nursing workforce research, it does lack a unified mechanism to systematically harness and interpret these insights for global application. Through this collaboration, the Centre will deliver a much-needed structure to collecting and analyzing nursing workforce data, thereby filling a critical void in the research and guiding investment in sustainable nursing workforce development," said Howard Catton, the ICN's CEO.
"The mission of the Global Nursing Workforce Centre goes right to the heart of a critical imperative in healthcare, and that is to ensure policy decisions involving the healthcare workforce are informed not by crisis response but by the latest geographically inclusive research," said Dr. Peter Preziosi, President and CEO of TruMerit. "By leveraging the collective expertise of ICN and TruMerit, the Centre will be a trusted source of evidence and insights that can drive worldwide investment in a future-ready global healthcare workforce."
The announcement was made at an official parallel event on nurse entrepreneurship at the NGO Forum of the 69th session of the UN Commission on the Status of Women, cohosted by TruMerit, ICN, and the Society of Nurse Scientists, Innovators, Entrepreneurs & Leaders (SONSIEL).
