Nursing Research Community Progress report
Academic year 2011-2012
INTRODUCTION.
The Department of Nursing appointed a Professor of Nursing in 2008 and this is the fourth annual report, which outlines the activities of the Nursing Research Community (NRC). It is presented in four key

Public profile
PhD Students The Nursing Research Community at MMU is situated in the School of Nursing and allied to
The Research Institute for Health and Social Care (RIHSC). The Research Institute brings
together an impressive array of research activity from across the University, in partnership
with field-based colleagues and organisations. RIHSC spans developments in health and
social care, professional practice development and evaluation, processes and experiences of
social inclusion, policy development and social change, and critical theoretical social
research. It is able to call upon a wide range of expertise and so provides a critical mass of
academics who will participate in the work. Current partners include national, regional and
local government, the health service at local and regional level, charities, professional
bodies and regional networks.
Research activity within the Department of Nursing is supported via regular NRC meetings,
which are open to all academic staff with an interest in nursing research. The format and
timing of these meeting was decided by the staff of the department. Meetings are held
monthly and the agenda consists of updates in research activities, discussions around
potential bidding, conference and publication activity. These meetings have an average
attendance of around 11 to 15 regular participants.

In total the NRC has submitted or been associated with 5 bids. It must be noted that, as with
last year, the economic and strategic uncertainty that characterised health and social care
have impacted upon the sources of funding that the NRC have had such success accessing in
the past. However it should also be emphasised how much of this bidding activity has been
in collaboration with other universities and external clinicians. This indicates a growth in the
external profile of the NRC. Furthermore, the NRC team are going for fewer but larger bids.
It can take up to 12 months to construct a satisfactory NIHR or ESRC bid and this is reflected
in the activity levels in this area
The current projects fit broadly within themes ‘Work force education and development’ and
‘Service delivery evaluation’ and ‘clinical and patient experience ‘ and the research activity
of the NRC continues to be promulgated under those themes in the future.

3.0 Public Profile
Whilst ‘presence’ is difficult to define with any precision, it is generally considered to reflect
the profile of an individual or institution in the wider academic community. One of the most
impressive developments within the NRC over the last year has been the enhanced profile
of the nursing research community at MMU. Table 3.1 lists the ‘conference activities that
the NRC have undertaken in the last academic year

developed as part of an online training programme for health care professionals by the
National Institute for Clinical Excellence
Dr Duncan has become Vice- Chair of the steering committee of the RCN Pain Forum.
An NRC member won 1st poster prize at the NETworking for Healthcare Education
conference in Cambridge. Guy Nambiar-Greenwood won first prize for her poster. This is the
second time in two years that the prize has been won by MMU. The MMU contingent were
also notable for their contributions to the conference twitter feed
4.0 PhD & Doctoral Students
As the Department of Nursing evolves, the recruitment of doctoral students must be a
priority. Table 4.1 shows the numbers of new and transferred students for the year
2011/2012 however this information must be treated with caution as post graduate data
has not previously been kept at departmental level. It must also be noted that these figures
include students on the Professional Doctorate route who are supervised by members of
the Nursing Department

Mohammed El-Fallah The NRC was fortunate enough to secure two PhD studentships this year. Lee-Yarwood Ross whose full time PhD is on wound healing experiences of seldom heard group groups and Pip Hardy whose part time PhD around the effect of digital stories on health care both join the NRC in October.
5.0 International Collaborations
Professor Haigh is working with the University of Technology at Sydney, Australia to
undertake some collaborative doctoral supervision and publications
6.0 Other news
Two members of the NRC successfully defended their doctoral theses. Dr Kirsten Jack and Dr
Nigel Cox are congratulated.
Last year the NRC piloted a voluntary Research Internship Programme. We appointed two
interns, Beth Renwick and Ian Duncan to work with Dr Duncan and Professor Haigh. The
interns assisted in literature reviewing, research data tool validation, questionnaire design
and submitted an abstract for an international conference. The pilot programme evaluated
extremely well and both Interns identified the experience as being useful to their career
development. At the end of the internship, Ian obtained a job as a clinical trials manager and
Beth became a research assistant at Kings College London.
As part of a strategy to support Doctoral students, the NRC is beginning a series of regular
Google hangouts with all nursing PhD student. These hangouts will enable everyone to meet
online to share their success and challenges as they go through the doctoral process. It is
anticipated that this approach will help to counter some of the isolation that typifies
doctoral study
7.0 Future developments
Professor Haigh will continue to cross faculty collaboration (with, for example Dr Abebaw
Yohannes) cross university collaboration with Dr Angel Salazar, Business School Manchester
Metropolitan University and links with external collaborators including The University of
Technology, Sydney, The University of Abertay and La Trobe University, Melbourne
11
Dr Duncan is leading on a national project in collaboration with members of the Royal
College of Anaesthetists and The Pain Society.
Maxine Holt has ben invited to join a working party focusing upon public health issues.
The next twelve months are likely to be a challenge in light of the on-going political and
economic environment, however the Nursing Research Community has shown itself to be
evolving and dynamic and willing to meet such challenges.
Goals for the next 12 months include –
Increase high impact publications by 15 %
To further develop our international collaborations profile
Repeat writing retreat
8.0 In Conclusion
The fourth year of the nursing Research Community’s life has seen significant increase in the
research related activities of nurse researchers at MMU. The staff of the department of
nursing is, as always, to be commended for the enthusiasm and commitment they have
shown to enhancing the research profile and academic presence of the discipline of Nursing
at Manchester Metropolitan University. They have consistently worked hard to meet the,
often very short, deadlines that are required by funding bodies; they have encouraged links
with research minded clinicians and have continued to promote nursing research at MMU
on the wider academic and international stage. We have seen a fall in small bidding activity
and a rise in the submission of large-scale bids to national funding bodies and this
emphasises the continued evolution and development of the NRC at MMU
