· 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.
