Reducing Health Inequities Through Improved Guidance and Assessment on the Early Identification of Skin Changes Associated With Chronic Venous Insufficiency (CVI) in People With Dark Skin Tones
Dr Victoria Clemmett, King’s College London
This project aims to reduce health inequities by improving the assessment and identification of venous disease in people with dark skin tones. This research will explore current practice and inform future research. Future projects, based on findings in this work, will build evidence-based guidelines and inform modifications to service delivery on the care pathway. This will lead to fundamental improvements in healthcare provision, inform educational strategies and improve nursing and medical practice.
Co-Design of an Enhanced Health and Wellbeing Check for Care Leavers in Lancashire and South Cumbria
Dr Philippa Olive, Lancashire Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.
Set in Lancashire and South Cumbria’s Integrated Care System, the aim of this study is to design an enhanced health and wellbeing check for care leavers that can be delivered by specialist general practice nurses. Outcomes will inform the future planning and delivery of primary health care for care leavers in Lancashire and South Cumbria so that their health and wellbeing, their knowledge about how, when, and where to access care, and their health care can be personalised and improved. Outcomes will also be used to understand the role of specialist general practice nurses in reducing the health inequalities of community care and identify learning and resource needs.
Current Projects
Job Satisfaction and Intent to Stay in Neonatal Nursing: an Exploration of Staff in England and Wales
Dr Kathy Chant, University College London
The aim of the study is to explore job satisfaction and intent to stay in neonatal nursing across England and Wales. The study will generate evidence to support initiatives to address neonatal nursing workforce shortages both at local and national level in England and Wales. Generating this knowledge is vital if we are to understand the best ways to address workforce shortages and deliver safe and effective care to our vulnerable patients.
Addressing the Retention of Home Visiting Community Nurses in England: a Mixed Methods Study of Strategies, Impact, and Outcomes
Professor Vari Drennan, Kingston University
The research aims to identify strategies for successful retention of nurses in NHS home visiting nursing services. The study aims to add to the body of knowledge on community nursing retention strategies available to nurses in leadership positions in both community nursing provider services and also regional and national bodies influencing workforce development. It will be of particular significance in the context of NHS England but have relevance more broadly in other countries where home visiting nursing exists.
