QNIS comments on the QNI’s change of name to Queen’s Institute of Community Nursing (QICN)

In light of the announcement that QNI will be changing its name, we have taken the decision to remain as the Queen’s Nursing Institute Scotland.

A stylised blue letter "Q" containing a white monogram of a crowned symbol with interwoven letters, representing the Queen’s Nursing Institute Scotland (QNIS) logo.

As QNIS we remain focused on providing high-quality professional development opportunities for Scotland’s community nurses and midwives, encouraging them to tackle health and care inequalities in collaboration with the people they care for.

We are grateful to QICN for letting us know some time ago about the name change, as this gave us the opportunity to review our position.

We look forward to continuing the longstanding relationship with our sister organisation QICN, working together to raise the profile of community nursing and midwifery across the UK.
