Professional society for clinical nurses
Clinical Nursing Society of Kenya
Enhancing evidence-based practice
CNSK brings clinical nurses and midwives together to raise standards at the bedside and in the community, to mentor the next generation, and to give nurses a voice in health policy.
Who we are
A society for nurses who deliver and lead clinical care
The Clinical Nursing Society of Kenya is a professional society for nurses and midwives who deliver and lead clinical care. Our members work in hospitals, community health units, theatres, critical care, maternity and teaching, in Kenya and in the diaspora.
We started as a mentoring movement. After the ICN Global Nursing Leadership Institute in 2017, our founder began mentoring young nurses at Mount Kenya University. That work grew into the International Junior Nurse Fellowship (IJNF) with Bradford District Care NHS Foundation Trust and Mount Kenya University, and its alumni now form the IJNF-Global Network.
CNSK is non-partisan. We work with the Government of the day, counties, regulators, unions and partners on what improves care for patients and conditions for nurses.
