That the Parliament congratulates Ashley Lawrence, a health visiting team manager at NHS Lothian, on being awarded the Queen's Nurse title; notes that this award has been given to only 18 community nurses from across Scotland in 2025, who completed the Queen’s Nursing Institute Scotland’s (QNIS) nine-month development programme in 2025; further notes that the programme consists of residential workshops, online workshops and individual coaching sessions, and requires participants to choose an issue for development, which will have a significant impact on those they care for, and commends Ashley for her hard work and commitment.
