QNIS Blogs

Welcome to our Blogs page where we share news articles and stories relating to healthcare, community nursing, mental health and social care.

We are pleased to announce that we are currently running a series of blogs by Learning Disability Nurses every fortnight on a Friday until December 2020.

In addition, we are engaging with our Scottish QN Health Visitors and our 2019 QN Cohort to arrange a similar schedule of blogs for each. Meantime please continue to enjoy our various blogs from QNs and other healthcare professionals which will now go live on Tuesdays.

If you are keen to write a blog for us, on a relevant health or social care topic, we are always happy to hear from you. Feel free to download this helpful guide, and submit your efforts to comms@qnis.org.uk.
