QNIS celebrates at two Long Service Awards

The Queen's Nursing Institute Scotland (QNIS) has supported two health boards to host Long Service Awards events that recognise community nurses and midwives who have given 21 years of service or longer.

The first event was held in Hamilton on behalf of NHS Lanarkshire and the second was held at Gartnavel Royal Hospital for NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde.

The events provided a wonderful opportunity for QNIS to thank nurses for their sustained commitment to community nursing. 

Emma Legge, QNIS Professional Nurse Lead, presented the certificates at both events on behalf of QNIS, thanking all the awardees for their service to the people in their communities and their dedication to community nursing. 

Emma said: “On behalf of the QNIS, I say thank you to all the awardees for proudly carrying the torch for excellent community care, through the good times and the challenges. And through all the years, and all the changes, and all the people they have met, they have kept smiling, and laughing, and a making difference to the lives of others.”
