Abstract

Over the next 3 years, the National Institute of Health Research, in conjunction with the Chief Nursing Officer for England, is supporting 210 scholarships for nurses, midwives and allied health professionals to study towards a masters in research qualification. The programme aims to provide learners with the skills to plan, manage and execute research projects in a rigorous and scientific manner; so that the non-medical professions begin to develop a cadre of staff who are capable of executing high quality, safe and ethical research programmes.
