Calling all PhD.s !

Today the Department of Health finally advertised their first

Public Health Career Scientist Awards

in the Guardian education section page 17 (the NHS R & D website is supposed to

have the details from 3/11/00).

Good luck, all would-be Academic HVs or SNs.

P.S. Senate members at King's, City or UCL might make good mentors for these

career scientists, if you are thinking of applying for this new Award.

Dear Ros and all other members in all places:

Some important news about R & D:

HEFCE have given Dr. Anne-Marie Rafferty, director of the RCN's

Centre

for Policy in Nursing Research, the national tender to scope research

in Nursing and the Allied Health Professions over the next three

months (gasp) with the intention of building up the research capacity

of nursing. The scoping will involve the private sector, NHS and

local

authorities as well as University departments of nursing or health

sciences. Anne-Marie and her deputy Dr. Traynor RHV were

asking on Tuesday for help from all quarters in planning this

historic

scoping exercise. The RCN CPNR is based at the London School of

Hygiene & Tropical Medicine, Keppel Street, London WC1E 7HT.

Some news for Senate members interested in Mental Health research:

Gale at the Government-sponsored charity Mentality is

asking

nationally for evidence-based examples of good practice in Mental

Health Promotion projects. Sheelah Seeley and all other members in

all

places with who with to inform the Government's standard 1 of its

National Service Framework promoting mental health, you can contact

Liz at elizabeth.gale@...

Liz is especially sympatico to projects led by school nurses and

health visitors !

Best wishes,

Woody.

Dear Woody and all

thanks for this information . Is it ok if I copy it and post it on

an embryonic egroup for primarycare nursing research ?

This is a new group which I would like to invite interested members of

SENATE to join . It follows a fringe meeting at the last RCN Nursing

Research Conference where the twenty odd people attending felt there

should be some way of networking to increase the presence of nurses,

midwives and HVs in primary care research. By the end of the month

we will have a web page on the RCN research co-ordinating

centre page but it (and the egroup) is not exclusively for RCN

members. So you can find this egroup by searching the egroups pages

for PrimaryCareNursingResearchNetwork or email it .

Looking forward to the debate and meeting people there.

Good luck Vari !

Three or four years ago in London Ann McMahon of the RCN organised a

workshop on nurse researchers in primary care, which I facilitated.

Ann** must have the papers for that meeting still, in case it would

be helpful. I remember Prof.s Alison Kitson and Bill Lemmer in

particular had some useful things to say. The East London primary

care network ELENoR also has a local practice nurse research network,

based at Queen & Westfield College, who might be very interested

in your national RCN initiative (said the practice nurse lecturer over

my shoulder as I began this email... )

** A.M. is teaching in Manchester University now and also has an

electronic address via the RCN research website.

Dear ,

Could I please have some fliers (50?) sent to:

Dr. W. Caan, Room 2.12, International Centre for Health and Society,

University College London, 1 - 19 Torrington Place,

London WC1E 6BT.

Thanks a lot - there is interest both within the college and at my health

authority. Do you think that we can get a free notice about the forthcoming

event in the weeklies (Nursing Standard & Nursing Times) ?

Meanwhile, on Friday I will make enquiries back at UCL about taping the debate,

but I cannot promise anything yet. If Jane is chairing I thought I might make

some notes, but I am too hard of hearing for a full record of events: it would

be more an impressionistic sketch of the debate. Are any keen photographers

coming, as I am sure a photo record would be welcome in the year 2100 !

Best wishes,

Woody.
