Nora remained at Edinburgh University until 1951, publishing three academic books, a number of journal articles and many newspaper articles. She played a key role in the development of both social work and nursing professional accreditation in Scotland and in the UK more broadly, demonstrated in 1917 by her election to the position of Secretary of the Provisonal Committee of the British Federation of Social Workers (later to become the British Association of Social Workers - BASW), and later in 1922 by her appointment to the first ever General Nursing Council for Scotland by the Scottish Education Department (SED). The University of Edinburgh recognised Nora Milnes' contribution to public service by awarding her an Hononary LLD (Doctor of Laws) in 1958. She died in London in 1972.
