title: Energise for excellence in care: a call to action for nurses and midwives.
abstract: Energise for Excellence in Care (E4E) is a nurse-led quality framework for nursing and midwifery advocated by the Chief Nursing Officer. It aims to support safe and effective care delivery, creating positive patient and staff experiences. Many nurses have the desire to make change but do not feel equipped to do so. Recognition of this is what inspired the development of this programme, which aims to provide easy access to tools, techniques and stories that will enable nurses and midwives to make the improvements to care they feel are necessary. E4E's vision is for at least 200000 nurses, midwives and health visitors to sign up and share their stories of best practice and cost savings. Through this programme, nurses can demonstrate their personal commitment to improving nursing care for their patients and reinforce their position as role models within the multidisciplinary team. This article provides an overview of E4E with examples of how it can be effectively put to use in practice.
