About this listen

 The Nurse Researcher podcast aims to demystify clinical academia, explain what researchers do, their roles, how they got there and what advice they can offer to others looking to bring research into their roles. Series 1 saw us focus on Professors of Nursing, Series 2 focused on the clinical academic and Series 3 is a short series focussing on NIHR Senior Research Leaders.Dr Andrew Finney Biological Sciences Science

    I am a NIHR SRL for community nurses. My objectives for the three-year programme are: to embed a research active culture within community nursing teams; increase the priority of community nurse-led research setting an agenda with people using the services and collaborating with academic partners, regional Trusts and local authorities; establish a supported pathway between existing improvement programmes (QI, service evaluation, clinical audit) and research. Within my Trust I have rolled out the Self-assessment of organisational readiness toolkit, created a staff research interest registry to better understand and serve the workforce, and am soon to launch our nursing journal club. Regionally, I work collaboratively with two other Trusts providing community care to deliver a Research Champions Programme and to develop the programme into a wider pathway. Nationally, I am part of the leadership group for the Queen’s Nursing Institute Nursing Research Forum delivering and designing content and I sit on the Working Group for the Community Healthcare Alliance for Research Active Trusts (CHART) to unite community health and care providers, healthcare professionals and public bodies to advance patient-centred research in community settings. Additionally, as a community clinical research nurse I deliver NIHR Portfolio research to gather high-quality and credible data to contribute to improving outcomes for people using community services. Nursing is a safety critical profession and nurse-led research must be at the core, be transparent and be accessible.
