Research leadership
By being part of and working with research teams the NMRC connects clinician researchers with resources. This supports the development of small scale pilots and concept development through to the implementation of large multisite funded projects.
The NMRC also undertakes externally funded research focused on broader nursing and midwifery workforce and professional issues.
