Putting Community nursing at the forefront of patient care

Shop    Search    Site map    Contact us    Links    

The Queen’s Nursing Institute is the charity dedicated to improving patient care by supporting community nurses

Nurse at work


We do this by:

  • Investing in community nurse-led projects and providing support to community nurses in need
  • Involving community nurses in shaping the policies that affect them
  • Inspiring community nurses to reach their full potential for the benefit of the community

Our remit includes all nurses and midwives who work in the community in any field or specialty, in the NHS, voluntary or private sector.

Support the QNI

The QNI has been supporting nurses since 1887, helping them to deliver the very best in patient care in an ever-changing healthcare system.

As a charity we have always relied on the generosity of individuals. With your support we can help the community nurses who help millions of us, every year. To find out how you can help, click here.

 

Run the London 10k and support community nurses

You can help support over 100,000 community nurses and their patients and get fit at the same time. The run takes place on 12 July 2009 so you still have time to enter and do a bit of training beforehand. Click here to find out how you can get involved.
