  1. Partnership working between HEI/NHS to progress R&D for nurses & midwives Grace Lindsay1 Barbara Parfitt1, Jean McIntosh1, Margaret Smith2 1. Glasgow Caledonian University 2.North Glasgow University NHS Division

  2. Joint Clinical Academic Post:Principle Role Objectives • To develop an infrastructure and culture to support N &M research activity, utilisation and practice development • To contribute to defining the research areas of activity • To lead research activity in specific focussed areas • To support the quality standards integral to the research governance agenda

  3. Where do you start????

  4. Joint Appointment: Guiding principles • Shared strategic focus • Thematic research activity • Clinical expertise and priorities should inform research agenda • Organisational infrastructure & support • Critical mass of individuals contributing to research agenda • Transparency • Sustainability

  5. Joint organisational strategic goals GCU-Nursing, Midwifery & Community Health School NGD High quality nursing & midwifery education Excellence in nurses/midwifes contribution to patient care and outcomes knowledge generation research utilisation evidence based care clinical effectiveness

  6. Where to begin in practice? …. • Scoping: current status • Meetings with individuals within NGD/GCU and nationally with remit for research and practice development • Perspectives on priorities and needs:national/local • Delivery of a strategy document &Implementation plan • Develop funding bids for nationally calls for proposals for research development in nursing, midwifery, AHCP • To collaboratively, create an infrastructure for research development

  7. Corporate N &M Division Group NGUT R&D Exec.Board N & M Research Implementation Group R & D Man. Group PD Divisional Groups Corporate PD Forum Advanced Prof. Practice Group NGD Organisation Structures in relation to N&M R&D

  8. Reduction of risk of adverse events in ‘high risk’ patient groups Cancer and Cardiac nursing Education/training needs assessment in relation to research Junior Doctors’ hours- what areas of their roles can be carried out by other HCPs Discharge planning- Primary/Secondary Care Interface Professional development in clinical trials nursing-GCP/Clinical governance Inter-relationship with other professional groups Impact of ACADs Role of case managers for ICPs Impact of complimentary therapies Recruitment/retention Impact of specialist nurses Topic areas that have been identified as priorities for research

  9. Research Activity Focus • Relevant to patient care and national priorities • Build on expertise and research themes within GCAL • Generation of ideas from current work that can be developed into new research questions/hypotheses • Improve quality, rigour and dissemination of research activity • Produce results that add to knowledge and understanding that develops clinical practice • Support staff to acquireskills to allow them to contribute to the research process and utilisation of evidence-based practice

  10. Some approaches to generating ideas for research • What areas of practice is there uncertainty about its effect, manner of delivery or unclear evidence-base? • What could nurses/midwifes change in their practice that could lead to improvement in patient/carer outcomes? • What measures do we have that can be used as key indicators of effectiveness? • Can a core minimum dataset be identified for evaluation of patient health outcome across different areas of practice and clinical specialties? • What are patients’ perspectives of good care in different settings/clinical circumstances?

  11. Performance targets • Increase in the quality and quantity of knowledge generation • Programmes of research with improved quality and quantity of research output • Increased income generation • Increase study opportunities for staff • Evidence of improvement in research utilisation in practice • Improved contribution of N &M to both generation and delivery of evidence based care

  12. Achievements • Scoping of research activity undertaken by nurses and midwifes • Research Strategy agreed and disseminated • Establishment of N&M Research Implementation Group • Group represents a range of research and clinical expertise • Delivery of other professional and academic responsibilities

  13. Next steps ….. • Continue to implement agreed research strategy • Agree areas of research working • Monitor via agreed milestones • Responsive to opportunities of new developments e.g WoS; calls for research proposal • Support development of increased research capacity/career pathways
