Tune in on livestream to see Sandy Summers on May 12, 2020 in the UK!
See Sandy Summers at a meeting of the Strategic Research Alliance, in partnership with the Royal College of Nursing, held at the University of Sheffield. Nursing professors are "organising a consensus development project from 2018-2023 and will conduct a new programme of research activity, supporting the development of nursing research evidence and nurse research capacity. Ultimately the work will seek to influence public policy and promote better outcomes for the population and the NHS (the UK's National Health Service) workforce."
In 2020 the Alliance is addressing five questions in UK nursing care, one of which is: "What are the best ways of informing and engaging the public about nursing?" Our founder and executive director, Sandy Summers, RN, MSN, MPH, will be attending to present on this question and engage with a lay panel. The event will be held on May 12, 2020 in Sheffield, England. Press will be invited and we aim to have it livestreamed. See more information on the Strategic Research Alliance web pages.
