The Queen’s Nursing Institute is a registered charity dedicated to improving the nursing care of people in the home and community.

How do we do it?

• Through our national network of Queen’s Nurses, who are committed to the highest standards of care
• Through field-specific standards that support specialist, advanced university qualifications for nurses
• By funding nurses’ own ideas to improve patient care, helping them develop their skills and innovate services
• Through our leadership programmes for senior executive nurses, and aspiring leaders in the community
• By influencing government, policymakers and employers, and campaigning for investment in services
• By helping working and retired community nurses in times of financial need
• By linking up working and retired nurses for regular telephone contact.
