Queen’s Nurse Title Returns to NHS Borders

Lodged by Christine Grahame Standard Motion 19 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament congratulates NHS Borders Health Visitor, Tania Ferguson on being awarded the Queen’s Nurse title; understands that Tania was nominated to join the Queen’s Nursing Institute Scotland programme for consistently being at the forefront of improvement and innovation in Health Visiting; further understands that Tania, who has spent 35 years in nursing, is a leading force in driving forward practice development, staff wellbeing and person-centred practice; notes that, until five years ago, the Queen’s Nurse title had not been awarded since 1969 and that, since its reintroduction, NHS Borders has had a member of its staff awarded the title every year, and pays credit to the Queens Nurse programme on providing opportunities for development in the sector and recognising outstanding nursing practice.
