Summary of webinar presentation:
In her previous role as Associate Professor of Nursing various advanced practitioners and advanced practice teams frequently indicated that they did ‘not know how or where to get started’ with the research pillar. Kerry created the Advanced Practice Research toolkit in March 2023 to:
- provide a framework for research discussions
- support advanced practitioners to ‘get started’ with research
- encourage advanced practice teams to consider their research priorities
- enable individual and team research objective setting
- aid appraisal discussions
The toolkit has gained interest nationally and internationally, with many positive comments received about how simple it is to use.
The toolkit is currently being piloted across 10 NHS Trusts in England, funded by NIHR Wessex ARC and will soon be available via the National Advanced Practice Faculty on the Future Learn Platform
