New Patron for QNIS
We are proud to announce that Her Majesty The Queen has agreed to become the new Patron of QNIS.
Buckingham Palace confirmed the news to mark the first anniversary of the Coronation of His Majesty The King and Her Majesty The Queen. It follows a thorough analysis of over 1000 Patronages of The late Queen, The former Prince of Wales and The former Duchess of Cornwall.
It continues a long line of support for our organisation from the Royal Family since Queen Victoria provided a generous gift of £70,000 for the education of nurses to tend the sick poor in the own houses in 1887. The late Queen was Patron of QNIS until her death in 2022.
We are very proud that Her Majesty The Queen has chosen to be our patron. We are hugely grateful to the Royal Family for their ongoing support.
QNIS Chief Executive and Nurse Director, Professor Clare Cable
It is an honour to have Her Majesty The Queen as our new Royal Patron. With Her Majesty’s patronage, we look forward to continuing our work in developing and supporting community nurses and midwives across Scotland in leading improvements in care and addressing health inequalities.
