We are a not-for-profit organisation whose purpose is to maximise the wellbeing of society in community through three specific means: application of professional nursing skills to healthy living and coping with illness; response to people’s inner (spiritual) needs; and mobilisation of ordinary members of church communities and beyond. Parish Nursing in the UK involves registered nurses with community experience, local churches and communities, and relates to local Primary Care Trusts.
PNMUK provides and continues to develop training for registered nurses to become accredited Parish Nurses. The Trust is engaged in development of the theology of health and wellbeing; in articulating the spiritual component and value; and in identifying good practice. The Trust seeks to work collaboratively with complementary organisations and to participate in complementary faith initiatives; it is non-denominational and non-sectarian.
You can arrange for someone to come and tell you more about the basic concept. There's a team of supporters who love Parish Nursing so much they've volunteered to explain it to others! Just send us a request for a Parish Nursing Advocate to visit.
