Carole Morrow, a senior nurse in learning disabilities, was nominated by colleagues for demonstrating high quality, compassionate care and was chosen to go forward for the development programme after attending an online selection event where she impressed a panel of nursing leaders.

Carole is based in Netherton House at Wishaw General and has been working with the NHS Lanarkshire Adult Learning Disability Service for 13 years.

The Queen’s Nursing Institute Scotland (QNIS) is a charitable organisation promoting excellence in community nursing to improve the health and wellbeing of the people of Scotland. Its purpose is to enable nurses who work in Scotland’s communities to be the very best they can be.

The development programme involves 29 community nurses from across Scotland coming together for a nine-month transformational development journey to becoming Queen’s Nurses.
