Register your details on our Registration page and become a member of the Alliance. Receive regular information about events, courses and the Alliance Update Newsletter. |
How can Nursing, Midwifery & Allied Health Professionals (NMAHP's) be involved? There will be many opportunities for NMAHP'S to become involved in this research programme. You can support existing researchers conducting research in practice by letting us know about your interests in self-care and self-management, by registering with SPCRN (see right) and by helping to make sure research is done. You can contribute to grant applications from a practice perspective, and if you have more research experience, you can work with our academic staff to prepare grant applications and conduct or lead research itself.

Why is Research Important ?
We do not always know how to help people manage their health and health care better or how to support their efforts. Research can help find how to support people by using theories to develop ideas, by identifying what has worked in the past and by coming up with new interventions or approaches to care and evaluate their effectiveness. Supporting self care needs an evidence base. As so much of the work of NMAHP's is relevant to care provided in home and community settings, we work very closely with the Scottish School of Primary Care. The school's primary care research network (SPCRN) exists to help link researchers with professionals in primary care who can host or otherwise support high quality research projects of relevance to primary care. You are very much encouraged to register your interests and to make contact with your local SPCRN node co-ordinators at: |
