RCN Research and Development Co-ordinating Centre
The RCN Research and Development (R&D) Co-ordinating centre works in partnership with the RCN Research Society and other key stakeholders to promote excellence in care through research and development in the UK and internationally.
Our aim is to increase the capacity and capability of nurses working in research, and to support members' research activities through our main areas of work: policy, networking and dissemination.
