Most nurses who receive help from the QNI are going through a time of personal crisis. This may include physical or mental illness, trying to escape domestic abuse, or experiencing other life crises, such as eviction, family health problems, marriage breakdown or bereavement.

We look at every case on an individual basis and in 2022 we helped 238 nurses, working and retired, who needed our help.

The QNI awarded single grants to 73 community nurses experiencing financial difficulties. In addition, we helped over 70 Community Nurses with a petrol grant and sent food vouchers to 20 people.

We have a Covid-19 Healthcare Support Appeal Fund (CHSA) and last year we were able to support over 40 nurses that had been affected financially by Covid-19.

Please note we cannot help nurses in Scotland, instead please visit the QNI Scotland website for information on sources of funding.
