The Queen's Nursing Institute Scotland

About

Our purpose is the improvement of health with a focus on prevention and social justice. We do this by supporting nurses and midwives in Scotland to enable individuals, families and communities to maintain or improve their health. We provide professional development opportunities that enable participants to strengthen their abilities to advocate for the marginalised and excluded. We issue long service awards for registered nurses and midwives who have worked in community settings 21 years or more. We advocate for community nursing and midwifery careers to promote understanding of the particular contribution these professions make to health and social care provision in Scotland. We provide support and friendship to retired Queen’s Nurses who trained prior to 1969, remaining proud of their legacy.
