Innovations in Diabetes Care Projects launched

The Queen’s Nursing Institute has announced seven new nurse-led projects in the community that will benefit people living with diabetes.

The seven projects are supported with funding by the Burdett Trust for Nursing, and will each run for 12 months, completing in March 2025.

Each project will benefit from up to £5,000 and will receive a year-long programme of tailored support from the QNI’s Innovation Team led by Dr Amanda Young.

The learning and development gained in the supportive environment of a QNI innovation programme enables nurses to reach their potential and inspire them to take their career to the next level. They also bring an enhanced profile and wider recognition to the services they work for.

The project leaders attended the starting workshop in London during March and their projects will run until March 2025.

The QNI is looking for community nurses and organisations who would like to develop innovative projects around sustainability in healthcare.
