Research within nursing and midwifery is incredibly important, as the evidence gained through nurse-led or midwife-led research can inform the delivery of nursing and midwifery practice in ways that not only improve care, but also protects the well-being of nurses and midwives.
The findings from nurse-led and midwife-led studies not only tell us about the impact of interventions, but also highlight the changes required to better support nursing and midwifery teams to deliver high-quality care.
Western Health is proud to have an extremely active Nursing & Midwifery Research Program, with an excellent track record of securing research grants, prolific publication and studies that are getting international attention.
We also are pleased to be able to provide active and meaningful support for nurses and midwives that are interested in research, through the provision of generous research grants specifically for nurses and midwives, the Mavis Mitchell Scholarship and expertise, guidance and support through our Chair of Nursing, Chair of Midwifery and their teams.
