The QNI Homeless Health Initiative
Are you a nurse working with people without a secure home? Join us to access free support!
The Homeless Health Initiative supports nurses working with people lacking a secure home, e.g. people who are on the streets, in B&Bs, hostels, friends/families’ floors – or any temporary housing.
Our support to community nurses working with homeless people includes:
- professional development opportunities relating to homelessness and health;
- resources and guidance on health care with homeless people;
- peer support and networking;
- information sharing and regular updates.
The Initiative is there to help all community nurses, health visitors and midwives working with people without a secure home.
