The motion

That the Parliament congratulates Michelle Dalgarno, a lead advanced practitioner at NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde and a resident in the Glasgow Anniesland constituency, on being awarded the prestigious Queen’s Nurse title; notes that this award has been given to just 18 community nurses across Scotland in 2025, who successfully completed the Queen’s Nursing Institute Scotland’s (QNIS) nine-month development programme; understands that the programme includes residential and online workshops, individual coaching and a requirement for participants to develop a project that significantly impacts those in their care, with a particular focus on promoting equity and inclusion; recognises what it sees as the outstanding contribution that Ms Dalgarno has made to patient care and community nursing, and commends the work of QNIS in supporting and developing Scotland’s community nursing workforce.
