The Queen’s Nursing Institute – April 2024
The Queen’s Nursing Institute Community Nursing Innovation (CNI) Programme aims to help community nurses to develop their innovative ideas and make them a reality. Since 1990 the Queen’s Nursing Institute (QNI) has worked with other charities and community healthcare trust partners to fund innovative projects across England, Wales and Northern Ireland. These projects cover the whole range of community nursing specialisms including learning disability, men’s health, and homeless and inclusion health. This report follows on from the Rising Stars report from 2015 that evaluated the impact of the QNI CNI programme between 2005 and 2014, and therefore focuses on the years 2014 to 2022. The aim of this report is to answer the following questions:
1. What was the impact of the QNI Community Nursing Innovation Projects on the individuals, families, carers and communities involved?
2. What was the impact of the QNI Community Nursing Innovation Programme on the personal and professional development of the project leaders?

QNI – March 2024
The report is based on a round table meeting of nursing leaders, charities and government on 15th December 2023. The round table was a joint initiative by The Queen’s Nursing Institute (QNI), the College of Medicine, and the School and Public Health Nurses Association (SAPHNA). The report brings together evidence and insights about the decline in school nurse numbers since 2009, summarises the impact on the health and wellbeing of children and young people, and offers a range of solutions.
There has been a 33% fall in the number of school nurses since 2009 across England, though this headline figure hides great variation: in some local authority areas school nursing is no longer commissioned at all. This is a clear instance of a postcode lottery with very serious consequences for families and for child health.
While the Healthy Child Programme 5-19 offers a plan for good child health, local authorities, which have commissioned school nursing since 2012 do not have the resources to deliver on the plan. School nurses are unable to work as true public health professionals, instead being limited to predominantly concentrate all nursing work on safeguarding for the most vulnerable.
