We are delighted to announce the renewal of our partnership agreement with the community nursing charity The Queen’s Nursing Institute (QNI).

Hallam Medical has worked in partnership with the QNI since 2015 and is proud to, once again, be the Queen’s Nursing Institute’s choice of specialist staffing partner. The QNI is a national, influential charity that campaigns for the best possible nursing care for patients at home and in the community.

The renewal of our partnership not only signifies the strength of our collaboration but enables us to continue to:

• Provide our clients with a forward-thinking, effective, and professional service.

Hallam Medical attends the CNEN monthly meetings, providing us the opportunity to listen to influential speakers, learn from others, participate, share and reflect from different experiences.
• The Integrated Care Board (ICB) Chief Nurse Network – ICB is an initiative by The QNI and NHS Confederation to support nurse leadership within integrated care systems.

The meetings discuss how ICB Nurses can work in collaboration to achieve the objectives of strong system leadership, integrating care and tackling inequalities in health. The network is chaired by Louise Patten, ICS Strategic Advisor at the NHS Confederation.
