The Queen’s Nursing Institute (QNI) annual conference will take place on 24–25 September in London.

This year, we have an international speaker, the American healthcare author Suzanne Gordon. Suzanne has written or edited nineteen books, including From Silence to Voice: What Nurses Know and Must Communicate to the Public. She is an expert in communication theory and is passionate about encouraging nurses to tell their story in a compelling and meaningful way that makes a difference to the public, media and commissioners. She has also written on other themes, including veterans’ health, nurse-patient ratios, patient safety, and teamwork.
