Title: The Paradoxes of advanced nursing roles in Wales: A grounded theory study of advanced nurses' and key stakeholders' perceptions'.
By: Dr Augusta Stafford-Umughele, BA (Hons), RGN, MA, Assic. CIPD, PhD
When: Wednesday 4th May 2020

Following undergraduate study in English and French, Augusta trained as a nurse at the Middlesex Hospital in London. She then pursued a Master's degree in human resource management, during which she worked as a staff nurse and a sister in a nursing home. She subsequently worked in nurse recruitment before taking a career break to raise her family. Her PhD in Nursing explored advanced nursing roles at a time when there was a shortage of doctors across the UK, with nurses taking on roles traditionally performed by doctors. Augusta is currently undertaking a return to practice course at Swansea University, with view to participating in clinical practice as well as nursing research.

Lecture: Participatory Research in an Evidence-based World


Professor Ruth Northway

PhD, MSc(Econ), RN (LD), Cert.Ed, FRCN

 

 “Participatory Research
in an evidence-based world”


Friday, 11th April 2014, 2.00-3.00pm

Cardiff Atrium, Room CA204, University of South Wales

Patient preference is a key component of evidence-based practice and it could be argued that participatory research is thus an essential component of research to develop the evidence base.  However, our health care systems are increasingly driven by evidence-based directives that value systematic reviews and large scale trials. Drawing upon her personal experience of developing participatory research with people with intellectual disabilities and people with mental health problems, Professor  Ruth Northway will argue that participatory research is an important approach to understanding the experiences and self-defined priorities of people who use health care services. However, participatory research challenges existing power structures, and positivist research has powerful defenders, so increasing acceptance and promoting the value of participatory research gives rise to a number of challenges which will be identified and explored.

Induction - June 2013


On the 7th June 2013 we held our Annual Induction ceremony at the University of South Wales, in Cardiff.

At the ceremony 1 new member was inducted in person and 6 new members were inducted In Absentia

Thora Hafsteinsdottir, the STTI Europe Region Co-Ordinator gave a presentation on "STTI in Europe - Opportunities for Nurses".

Access Thora's presentation here (at the moment this is only available to members, but we are working at making it accessible to all)
During the induction ceremony the Chapter was presented with two Chapter awards (See Congratulations under the NEWS tab)


Regional Awards



In 2013 the Chapter was awarded two regional awards: -


Award 1 - 'Engaging in Collaboration' which was awarded for organising and hosting the 1st European Region Conference in July 2012, which we did in collaboration with the other 4 European Chapters


Award 2 - 'Creating your Legacy' which was for the setting up of the European Development Fund which can be used “to promote the development of STTI in Europe”. The fund was opened by a donation of £5,076, which was (as agreed by all the chapters) 40% of the profit made by the first STTI European Conference





          
    Many congratulations to all those members directly involved in these two ventures.
