The QNI works with nurses in any community setting, as well as primary care and social care. We award the title of Queen’s Nurse in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, and we support innovation programmes, leadership programmes, and a wide variety of professional development opportunities for nurses at all stages of their career. We also work with educators and produce standards of education and practice for study at an advanced level in a number of specialisms in community nursing. We provide financial assistance for working and retired nurses who are in need, and other forms of individual support.

NHS and Care Volunteer Responders is a flexible volunteering programme supporting the NHS and adult social care across England. The programme provides adult social care providers with readily available, appropriately checked volunteers to support people drawing on care services. Health and care teams can refer people for Check In and Chat friendly telephone calls. They can also request Pick Up and Deliver support to help with the delivery of medication and supplies and support with essential shopping and prescription delivery through the Community Response service.
Making a referral is easy, just call the Support Team on 0808 196 3382 or visit https://nhscarevolunteerresponders.org/referral.
