Opening Doors Final Impact Report 2012
Homeless people are among the most vulnerable in our society, often suffering from significant and multiple health inequalities. The professionals who support them report that they are often marginalised and left without sufficient and effective support to deliver their service.
Initially, the Homeless Health Initiative was an externally funded enterprise which assisted with the development of a unique nursing network. Connecting nurses who work in isolation but with similar client groups, the facilitated network assists the process of learning, support and practice development. Two years ago the QNI was successful in being awarded funding for further investment in our work to support nurses working with homeless people. The results of this investment have been outstanding; there have been significant and tangible outcomes and the Opening Doors project has been one of the QNI’s most successful practice development initiatives to date.
