Foundation of Nursing Studies
In 2006, the GNCT Trustees established a formal collaborative agreement to work in partnership with the Foundation of Nursing Studies (FoNS), to further the aims of both charities in relation to advancing nursing care.
The programme supported nurse-led healthcare teams who identified an aspect of care that needed improving and were committed to working in a systematic way to develop and change practice through research. In 2014, the Trustees reluctantly ended the agreement in order to prioritise funding research projects commissioned directly by the GNCT.

Former Collaborative Agreements
The University of Surrey
In 1993, the GNCT made a substantial endowment to the University of Surrey in order to set up a ‘Chair of Nursing Education’. From 1998, the Chair was located in the Centre for Research into Nursing and Midwifery Education (CRNME). Whereas the GNC Trust Chair (Nurse Education) became the responsibility of the University of Surrey, the Trustees of the GNC Trust maintained their interest and involvement through the Management Advisory Board. The GNCT Chair ceased in 2013.
