A BRADFORD district woman has been awarded the prestigious title of Queen’s Nurse.

Shipley's Sarah Brownlow, who is the Clinical Pathway Lead at Leeds Community Healthcare NHS Trust, has been qualified for 22 years.

The Queen’s Nurse (QN) title is awarded to nurses who demonstrate a high level of commitment to patient care and nursing practice by the Queen’s Nursing Institute.

To receive the title, nurses must prove that they have over five years’ of experience in community nursing and provide written statements demonstrating their knowledge and expertise.

Sarah said: “I am honoured to receive the title of Queen’s Nurse and will use this as an opportunity to continue to champion high-quality care for patients in the community and make sure that Community Nurses have their voices heard.

“I am currently seconded to NHS England as a Community Nurse Fellow delivering the Annual Community Nursing programme alongside other fellows supporting community nurses.”
