STH Nursing and Midwifery Research Innovation Strategy 2023-2026

 

This is the first STH Nursing and Midwifery Research and Innovation Strategy and it is based on the ambitious plan set out by The Chief Nursing Officer (CNO) for England (2021) and the Midwifery Strategic Plan for Research (2023). It aims to provide a framework for the implementation of the CNOs five themes at STH, with a focus on building on the existing excellent research already taking place at STH and on further developing impactful research that matters to our nursing and midwifery workforce and our local patient population.
