  1. Culture and capacity in nursing researchEngland/UK perspectivesUniversity of Maribor, Slovenia (2010)Christine Jackson,PhD, MPhil, TDCR Director of CCAWI Centre for Clinical and Academic Workforce Innovation, University of Lincoln, UK

  2. Sixty years of the National Health Service • Special edition of the Health Service Journal (July 2008) • 28 articles, approx 25,000 words • 80 words relating directly to the workforce and training • Research is mentioned in context only

  3. 2003-2005 StLaR HR Plan Project(Butterworth and Jackson) • Improve the “clinical academic” culture • Capacity building for the next generation to • meet increased demand • succeed the present ‘ageing workforce’ • Increase investments in research training and scholarly activity • Build clearly identified career pathways • Develop support and mentorship • Improve labour market intelligence at a global level

  4. Addressing research capacity, capability and culture in 2010 • Research capacity and capability - four new research awards for England • Research culture - UK professorial study in nursing, AHP groups and social work

  5. Capacity building – the doctoral workforce in UK nursing • Number of nurses educated to doctoral level n = 2000 (approx) 0.25% of total registered nursing population in the UK • Most doctoral nurses are based in the academic population • Increasing population of doctoral students

  6. Doctoral nursing students (UK) 2004 & 2008Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA) Doctoral nurses Age range

  7. Based on total registered populations (2003) Finland 0.36% UK 0.25% Portugal 0.04% Spain 0.02% Slovenia 0.01% Based on employed populations (2003) Sweden 0.48% Based on employed populations (2001-2005) USA 1.0% Argentina 0.3% Canada 0.2% Unable to identify population base (2003) Zimbabwe 0.06% Doctorate nurse populations: European and international comparisons

  8. Career pathways for nurse educators and researchers ( 2005-2015)

  9. ‘Developing the best research professionals’ Qualified graduate nurses: recommendations forpreparing and supporting Clinical academic nurses of the future Report of the UK Clinical Research Collaboration Sub Committee for Nurses in Clinical Research August 2007 igniting our potential in collaboration with Modernising Nursing Careers

  10. United Kingdom Clinical Research Collaboration Rationale • To provide a report with recommendations, implementation and costings to support clinical academic nurses and AHPs of the future Method • Review of existing research, policies, etc • Data analyses: workforce/qualifications, etc • Engagement with a number of expert reference groups: funding, research activity, policy, etc • National consultations on draft report

  11. Recommendations: increasing capacity & capability • Capacity – increasing total number of nurses/AHPs involved in research • Capability – ensuring that greater proportion of numbers of clinical academic nurses/AHPs are capable of working at highest level • Recommendations address 3 main areas: • Education and training • Facilitating careers • Better information

  12. A proposed clinical academic training pathway (nursing)

  13. 2010 The Clinical Academic Training Pathway for Nurses, Midwives and AHPs (England) • Sponsored by NHS National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) • Additional funding from the Higher Education Funding Council for England • Four levels of award

  14. NIHR awards • Masters: 70 funded places annually • Clinical Doctoral Research Fellowships (15 awards in 2009) • Clinical Lectureships -post doctoral awards (10 awards in 2009) • Senior Clinical Lectureships (12 awards in total, starting August 2010) with 50% funding through Higher Education Funding Council for England)

  15. so far so good…… Research culture? • UK-wide survey of professors in nursing, AHP and social work (Jackson, Callinan and Cowell, 2010) Primary objective was to identify roles and activities with respect to the National Conference of University Professors (NCUP)

  16. Findings in relation to research culture • Institutional and peer support is crucial to developing a positive research culture • Tensions between research and managerial expectations • Audit culture identified as a major problem • Mentorship culture is poorly developed • Workload pressures interfere with family life

  17. my final thoughts Improving research capacity and capability in nursing and other professions and improving research culture should be synonymous with good practice. Thank you cjackson@lincoln.ac.uk
