Local gatherings for retired Queen’s Nurses have taken place across Scotland over the past month, with additional events planned over Christmas and into the new year.

We are delighted to share with you some images from recent retired Queen’s Nurses gatherings in Inverness, Inverurie, Edinburgh, and Glasgow.

These events, organised by QNIS, are an opportunity for friends and former colleagues to catch up, reminisce and make new connections.
