Queen's Nursing Institute Long Service

At Cavendish Homecare, we’re thrilled to celebrate our founder and registered nurse manager, Mairead Liston, who has received the prestigious Long Service Award from The Queen’s Institute of Community Nursing (QNI). This award is a powerful testament to her exceptional dedication and the extraordinary difference she consistently makes in the lives of those she serves.

What is the QNI Long Service Award?

The QNI Long Service Award is a highly esteemed honour recognising nurses who have devoted many years to community nursing in the UK. Established by The Queen’s Institute of Community Nursing, a charity dedicated to improving home-based nursing care, these awards celebrate individuals who have consistently provided high-quality, compassionate care in community settings for a significant period, often 21 years or more.

Why is this award important?

This award is incredibly important because it:

Recognises enduring dedication: It highlights nurses who have committed a substantial part of their careers to community nursing, showcasing their perseverance and compassion.
Celebrates community heroes: These recipients are often the quiet heroes of healthcare, providing vital care that helps people stay in their homes and improves their quality of life.
Inspires future generations: Award recipients serve as powerful role models, encouraging new nurses to consider a career in community nursing and demonstrating its profound impact.
Raises the profile of community nursing: By honouring dedicated professionals, the QNI helps raise awareness of the crucial role community nurses play in the wider healthcare system.

We are incredibly proud to celebrate Mairead Liston’s remarkable achievement. Her QNI Long Service Award is a testament to her exceptional dedication, exemplary leadership, and the profound difference she has made. Mairead’s commitment to the highest standards of care has been a cornerstone of Cavendish Homecare’s success.
