For staff

 

Following on from their success in the annual Nursing Times Awards, the Cambridge BioResource Nursing Team are now about to have an article published in the Nursing Times.

In November of 2015 the Cambridge BioResource Research Nursing Team, consisting of 7 Cambridge University Research Nurses, won the Nursing Times Award for Clinical Research Nursing for their work on a volunteer-centric nursing model which aims to promote excellence in the delivery of research. The model facilitates engagement of a diverse population, increases accessibility to research and standardises practice; whilst ensuring appropriate and sensitive use of research funding. The model is the first of its kind to prioritise the volunteers' needs at the centre of research decision making.

Following on from their success in the annual Nursing Times Awards, the Cambridge BioResource Nursing Team are now about to have an article published in the Nursing Times.

This article identifies how the volunteer-centric model helps with recruitment to studies, and ensures their timely and cost effective completion, whilst enabling a wide demographic to take part through discussion of its 6 principles:
1. Successful Delivery of Research
2. Standardise Practice
3. Collaborative Working
4. Promote Autonomy
5. Maximise Engagement & Accessibility
6. Positive Experience & Re-Engagement

The article also looks at the potential for transferability of the model to other nursing practice settings, outside of research.

Further information on the model is available at:
