Rising from the fire: How Myanmar’s Nursing Students Reached Graduation Against the Odds

Marcus Wootton, Associate Director of the RCN International Nursing Academy, recounts yesterday’s extraordinary graduation ceremony of student nurses in Myanmar who have, against all odds, completed their nursing degrees while Myanmar’s civil war continues. The programme, which the RCN has supported, is the first of its kind worldwide to provide a viable pathway to a new, high quality nursing workforce in a conflict zone.

The Phoenix Nursing Programme: Rising from the fire

On 1 February 2021, the military seized power in Myanmar, prompting health care workers - alongside teachers, civil servants, and students - to join a nationwide civil disobedience movement. Nursing care continued, but it moved underground. The Phoenix Bachelor of Nursing Science was created through partnerships between Myanmar universities and the Royal College of Nursing in the UK. Each theory module is jointly taught by Myanmar faculty and international nursing academics, with subject specialists included. Its aim is simple: to deliver high quality nursing education in conflict affected Myanmar.

RCN Register of Interests

The purpose of this register is for members of RCN Council, Committees, Boards, external advisers and senior RCN staff to declare their interests outside of the RCN. We do this because they have a duty to act impartially and objectively, and to take steps to avoid any conflict of interest arising as a result of their membership of, or association with, other organisations or individuals.
