Building a Research Community

The School of Nursing is committed to the development of clinical practice and this is reflected in our research activities. During 2009 strategic initiatives were aimed at; re-defining the research focus to capitalise on research strengths, building the research capacity within the School so that all staff are able to participate in high quality research activities, and disseminating and promoting research activities effectively to ensure maximum impact on practice. The research activities within the School of Nursing are situated within three over-arching clusters; Changing Practice, Changing Workforce and Knowledge into Practice. Each cluster is divided into themes of individual project streams.
