Their breadth of experience and knowledge will make a huge contribution to the continued success of the charity, its values and mission.’

It brought to life for me the complexity and sophistication of community nursing.’
Dr Katerina Kolyva said:
‘I am delighted to join the QNI as one of its new trustees. The policy context of nursing in the community has never been more relevant and the QNI’s influence and strategic leadership will be crucial.
