Tonight is the night!!
Head over to Twitter at 8pm for our chat on Respiratory Research with the fabulous Karen Marshall, Respiratory Nurse Consultant at Newcastle Hospital and Carol Kelly, Respiratory Nurse and Academic at Edge Hill University
There are currently no UK national research priorities identified, or research strategy set for respiratory nursing. Respiratory nurses can be ideal leaders of research, which could potentially improve morbidity and mortality for respi...ratory patients, but a lack of co-ordination, common agendas, and funding negates against taking respiratory nurse research forward
See our ARNS Research Strategy for more details
