Our purpose is the improvement of health with a focus on prevention and social justice. We do this by supporting nurses and midwives in Scotland to enable individuals, families and communities to maintain or improve their health. We provide professional development opportunities that enable participants to strengthen their abilities to advocate for the marginalised and excluded. We issue long service awards for registered nurses and midwives who have worked in community settings 21 years or more. We advocate for community nursing and midwifery careers to promote understanding of the particular contribution these professions make to health and social care provision in Scotland. We provide support and friendship to retired Queen’s Nurses who trained prior to 1969, remaining proud of their legacy.

*OSCR is required by law to publish the names of a charity’s trustees and its principal office address as part of the charity’s Scottish Charity Register entry. They are also required to publish the annual report and accounts for each charity, including the names of some individuals. The only exceptions to this are where a charity or one of its trustees applies for this information to be excluded from the Register entry and where OSCR is satisfied that if it were published then the safety or security of a person or premises would be jeopardised.
