We want you to help us shape this strategy document and action plan, so tell us your thoughts.

RCN Research Strategy 2007 - 2013

Perhaps you have views on the progression of the 6 recommendations in the original research strategy?

Four proposed workstreams

Does the proposed direction of travel, with the four workstreams around Knowledge Build, Knowledge Assure, Knowledge Share, Knowledge Use, respond to current external activity and/or reflect the responsibilities of a professional body?

Research and development in similar organisations

Are you aware of R&D activity in similar organisations that you think we should take note of/emulate/form partnerships with?

Reviewing knowledge

How do nurses' access, share and use knowledge? What stops this from happening? Should the RCN be making more use of social media such as webinars, podcasts, Twitter chats and wikis?

Share your thoughts

These are just some of the questions we have been asking, but it's your thoughts and views we want to hear. Email Dave O'Carroll, email: david.ocarroll@rcn.org.uk with the subject "RCN R&D refresh - sharing views" - we look forward to hearing from you.
