This study sought to explore perspectives of practitioners dealing with the issues of IPV within Muslim community, in a city in the North of England. The study explored the practitioners’ perceptions of the factors considered to produce IPV in this community, and ways through which culturally sensitive services can be provided. One key outcome of the study was the development of appropriate strategies to support IPV victims in a culturally appropriate and sensitive manner.

The RCN International Research Conference 2015 at the East Midlands Conference Centre, Nottingham 20-22 April 2015 – Jane Wray, Research Fellow

It has been an active and packed conference programme at the RCN research conference this year which started with a fascinating keynote on ‘Invisible Care in Soulless factories: the challenges of humanising healthcare for patients and nurses’ by Professor Jill Maben (Kings College London). #
Jane presenting her paper

I also got the opportunity to present the first paper from my PhD entitled “Why undertake pilot work in a qualitative PhD study? Lessons learnt to promote success’ on day two of the conference. I got some really helpful comments from those in attendance and positive encouragement to get my pilot study published. I finished up on day two by seeing Professor Roger Watson present ‘To measure is to know’ as part of a symposium on ‘Big Data: opportunities and challenges for nursing’.
Professor Joanna Latimers’ keynote first thing Wednesday morning was a fascinating insight into the challenges for nurses working within a complex organisational system such as the NHS and how legitimate nursing skills have been devalued by the system and the profession.

You can following all the conference tweets on #research2015 and the 2016 conference will take place in Edinburgh on 6-8 April so make a note of the date.
