Nursing and Midwifery - Newsletter October 2021

NSLHD Nursing & Midwifery Research Centre

We hope that the resources in these newsletters will assist you to translate evidence into practice, build knowledge and capacity to manage the complexity of health care delivery and behaviour change. Clinical leaders are required to challenge everyday practice, while remaining focused on delivering quality safe patient care. Therefore, an important part of our roles in the Nursing and Midwifery Research Centre is

to provide NSLHD nurses and midwives with guidance in implementing new practices or interpreting evidence to improve patient care. We can offer assistance and support in conceptualising, designing and or implementing your projects with your clinical teams. Additional resources can be found on our intranet: http://intranet.nslhd.health.nsw.gov.au/ClinicalNet/Nursing/Research/Pages/Research.aspx
