Working with nursing and occupational health
Stakeholders bring knowledge of how nursing is organised, where support is available and what would need to change for research findings to inform practice.
We welcome conversations with NHS boards and other nursing employers, professional bodies, occupational health teams, suicide-prevention organisations, researchers and policy colleagues.
There are several ways to contribute, from discussing practical questions to sharing study information through appropriate networks.
Support for the fellowship
The fellowship application received support from the following nursing organisations.
Queen’s Nursing Institute Scotland
QNIS offered non-financial support, including professional insight, relevant networks and help with dissemination. Its letter also identified the possibility of supporting access to potential participants where appropriate.
Royal College of Nursing
The RCN supported the application, with support also expressed by RCN Scotland and RCN UK Nursing Practice. Its letter identified opportunities for advice on oral history, archival preservation and sharing outputs through nursing networks.
These descriptions reflect the support offered during development of the fellowship. Specific activities are agreed with each organisation as the research progresses.
Ways to work with us
Professional and practical advice
Discuss nursing careers, workplace pressures, routes to help and the practical questions that findings will need to address.
Reaching people
Share approved study information through relevant professional and community networks. Any research participation remains a decision for the individual.
Using the findings
Help identify suitable audiences and formats for briefings, public summaries, occupational health resources and future prevention research.
Discuss collaboration
