The Scottish Government, with NHS Education for Scotland, has made funding available to support four General Practice Nurses (GPNs) to join the 2018 Queen’s Nurse cohort.
We are therefore seeking nominations from General Practices. GPNs who have their employer’s support may then apply using a written application to demonstrate their skills against the Excellence Profile and describe an issue which they would like to explore during the development programme.
In addition to employer support, we are looking for each candidate to have a sponsor; perhaps the health board GPN Lead, another senior nursing or GP colleague. The most important quality is that those applying should be really enthusiastic about being put forward to be Queen’s Nurses, and willing to act as a role model to others.
Application forms are available here and here.
For further information please contact Fiona Fitheridge on 0131 229 2333 fiona.fitheridge@qnis.org.uk
Closing date for written applications from GPNs (including organisational support forms) 11th December 2017
Candidates informed and invited to selection events if short listed 21st December 2017
