The Nursing Professions R&D Priority Setting Initiative
Catalogue of Reviews
Please note that the "reviews" identified in this catalogue were produced within a very tight timescale to explore the feasibility of the method of identifying priorities and to form the basis of debate about priorities for research. Consequently they are at varying degrees of refinement. Those identified by an asterisk were part of an ongoing programme of work or have been further developed. These have either been published or have been submitted for publication. For details please refer to the publications and presentations page.
