The Queen's Nursing Institute

Putting community nursing at the forefront of patient care

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 extends across the entire community nursing universe, including district nurses, school nurses, practice nurses, nurse practitioners, community midwives, health visitors, mental health and learning disability nurses.

The Queen's Nursing Institute maintains close links with community nurses and their patients, primarily through the QNI Fund for Innovation and professional networks.

Much of our activity focuses on the future role of nurses in primary care, and we work to influence policy relating to community nursing in the new National Health Service agenda.

Through our increasingly busy financial assistance department, we also provide both practical and emotional support for community nurses who are no longer able to work, in the main through illness, injury, old age or disability.

As a charity, we rely on voluntary donations.  Click here to find out how you can help.
