Today on #InternationalNursesDay, we celebrate the dedicated professionals who care for us at every stage of life. With expertise, compassion and steadfast commitment. Thank you for the crucial role you play in our communities. Happy International Nurses Day!

(2/2) One of the themes of #InternationalNursesDay is Nurses' Health and Wellbeing. In Catherine Best’s second blog, she emphasises the importance of nurses making self-care a priority and offers some tips to nurses, managers and leaders. 👉 qicn.org.uk/taking-real-... #NursesHealthandWellbeing

Happy international nurses day to all my colleagues past and present. Thank you for all you do. You make a difference each and every day. #Internationalnursesday2025 #IND25

Loved speaking at one of the regional Queen’s Nurse meetings today about parish nursing. Telling other registered nurses with a huge expertise in various areas about how parish nurses impact whole communities was so encouraging. #partnerships #holistichealth

Not a bad morning visiting York as part of my work with Parish Nursing Ministries UK as I complete the planning of a new parish nursing service in the city. This will be up and running very soon. #everychurchneedsaparishnurse

We are delighted to reveal our exciting news: we have changed our name and are now known officially as The Queen's Institute of Community Nursing! Find out more here: qicn.org.uk/news-and-eve...

1st camping trip of the year. Hopes to see the northern lights but it wasn’t to be. Lovely sunset though. Good for self care and to decompress!

Anyone wanting to know about parish nursing please join me tomorrow for a free 1 hr session.

Amazing programme supporting refugees who are nurses to be supported in training and use their wealth of knowledge and expertise to nurse here in the Uk! Welcome to each of them into the nursing family.

A glimpse of colour in what can often feel like a grey world. There are better times to come! 🙏😊

I had the honour of attending the commissioning of new lead #parish #nurse Louise as she takes hold of the baton from former lead nurse Michaela. Louise is compassionate and caring and will be a huge asset to this parish nursing service.

My health promotion idea is that people would be fitter and happier if there were more accessible and fun dance opportunities available. Remove the embarrassment/Britishness and everyone (to whatever degree is physically possible) enjoys dancing, and I won’t hear otherwise. Down with treadmills! 💃🕺👏

Yes yes yes! We shouldn’t be having to fumble around in our pockets for change in order to fund hospices and palliative care! Having cared for people at the end of life, it’s one of the most humbling and honourable things to do. Caring for families in the midst of it all is also so important.

This is the Canadian #nursing retention toolkit. Am finding governments are starting to really see the value of retention An experienced skilled workforce is essential for productivity as well as safe & effective care www.canada.ca/en/health-ca...

Government ‘cracking down’ on exploitation of migrant care workers Nursing unions have welcomed plans to tackle exploitation and abuse of migrant care workers but want a full investigation into the scale of the problem and better support for those affected. www.nursingtimes.net/social-care/...

We were delighted to welcome Dame Elizabeth Anionwu to our #QNIAwards2024 Ceremonies today, where she presented QNI Fellowships and signed copies of her book, Dreams from my Mother. @dameanionwu.bsky.social

I qualified in 1998 and we regularly had young adults on the medical take with meningitis (including the sickest and scariest patient I ever looked after when I was an SHO on call) Now on the medical take we very,very rarely see this disease

Did you know that your practice receives just £112.50 per year for each patient, whatever their health needs. That’s less than the cost of an annual TV licence. It’s just 31p a day for every patient GP & practice team needs more to support patient care #GeneralPractice youtu.be/Tds7ML2OfY8?...

Facts verses Fiction GPs to blame for A&E pressure 2million people a month attending A&E 5million more appts a month in #GeneralPractice compared to 2019 GP practices are breaking under the demand of 7m waiting for hospital treatments, 1.6m waiting for investigations, 500 more long term sick

First time in British history! The weather forecast was right! 😂 Love a bit of snow. Thinking of all those community workers out in Yorkshire tonight who won’t like this as much.

The number of women waiting for gynaecology care in England has more than doubled in the last 5 years. That’s more than 760,000 people waiting right now. We must encourage the Government to fix this urgently. www.itv.com/watch/news/d...
