The Worshipful Company of Nurses is a livery company in the City of London.

It was founded as the Guild of Nurses and was approved for formation as a guild by the City of London on 9 February 2016. It was formed to represent the nursing profession.[1] A guild is the beginning of a process towards forming a livery company.[2]

In 2020 the Guild was promoted to a company without livery,[3] and in May 2023 The Worshipful Company of Nurses was approved for Livery by the Court of Aldermen.[4]
