New Members of Staff

Rebecca Archer, PA to the Nurse Director, has recently gone on maternity leave. Whilst she is away Suzie Lemmey will be covering for her. Please feel free to get in contact with her at susan.lemmey@qnis.org.uk if you have any queries about funding etc.

We also have a new member of staff in a new role – Angie Henney has recently started here as Project’s Coordinator. Here’s a quick word from her:

Do you have an idea for a Project that would benefit the health and nursing care of people in the community?

I have recently started in a new role of Project’s Coordinator for the QNIS, and a large part of this will involve helping community nurses to develop proposals in order to access funding, supporting them throughout the life of the project and helping to disseminate the results in order to build the evidence base for nursing in the community.

 

This will involve site visits throughout Scotland and helping with the QNIS conferences and workshops.

 

If you would like to discuss any ideas then please contact me on angie.henney@qnis.org.uk
