RCN news RSS feed - Research Society
This heading is reserved for the UK Steering Committee of the RCN Research Society, and the national and regional groups of the RCN Research Society. It contains information about the annual international nursing research conference, awards, publications, local events, the Winifred Raphael Memorial Lecture (WRML), and Research Society involvement at RCN Congress.
Research Society RSS feed - Career development
This section, whilst not intending to be comprehensive, will give details of job opportunities, fellowships/scholarships and research-specific training opportunities. Occasionally, professional organisations and funding bodies request nominations for peer reviewers and membership of scientific boards, and these requests are listed in this section too.
Career development RSS feed - Research funding
This section promotes funding opportunities of all descriptions.
Research funding RSS feed - Research policy and practice
This section tends to provide information about policy and governance (including ethics) documents from the 4 countries of the UK. However, any work of strategic importance to the nursing R&D community may be disseminated via here.
Research policy and practice RSS feed - Consultations
This section predominantly gives information about consultations that the RCN has been invited to provide comments. However, this is not exclusive, and there may well be other consultations of relevance to the nursing research community which you would like to reach a wider audience.
Consultations RSS feed - Research networks
This section promotes research networks, be they overarching in outlook, focused on research methodology, or with a clinical focus or field of research.
Research networks RSS feed - Research in progress
A classic example of an entry in this section would be the research team that is looking for evidence, and wants to search the so-called "grey literature"; research that is being conducted, and hasn't been reported in any of the usual dissemination channels.
Research in progress RSS feed - Finding the evidence
"Standing on the shoulders of giants" is a phrase well known to researchers, and anyone embarking on a piece of research will want to know what has already been done. This section of the website provides a signposting service to various databases of completed research, including the recently launched NHS Evidence portal.
Finding the evidence RSS feed - Practice development
The utilisation of research is perhaps the most important part of the R&D process for nurses endeavouring to deliver evidence based practice. This field signposts visitors to organisations and databases which support knowledge utilisation. This section will also include information about user involvement, an area of growing importance in the research endeavour.
Practice development RSS feed - Innovation in practice
This section will highlight innovation in practice, be they specific examples, RCN initiatives, or wider UK approaches
Innovation in practice RSS feed - Disseminating your research
This section is intended to help you find information on submitting abstracts and papers for conference presentation, a key part of disseminating your work.
Disseminating your research RSS feed - Events
The RCN website has a comprehensive events section, listing regional and national events run under the auspices of the RCN, as well as a section for non-RCN events.
