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). #

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
