NIHR Pre-Registration Nursing and Midwifery Research Delivery Awareness Programme

This programme aims to provide all nurses and midwives with a good understanding of clinical research at the time of graduation. We hope that this will encourage newly qualified nurses and midwives to:

·  act as advocates for the importance of research in impacting clinical care.

·  make informed career choices through an understanding of the variety and evolving roles undertaken by nurses and midwives in research engagement and delivery.

This resource can be used in 2 ways:

1) Self directed learning by nursing/midwifery students

2) Facilitated presentation by University lecturers in schools of health

The resources are available via this link on NIHR Learn. Students and lecturers will need to register for an account on NIHR Learn prior to accessing the resources. Details of how to register are on the site.
