NCNM Mission & Function
The National Council for the Professional Development of Nursing and Midwifery exists to promote and develop the professional role of nurses and midwives in order to ensure the delivery of quality nursing and midwifery care to patients and clients in a changing healthcare environment
Statutory Agency established in 2001

Evaluation 1: Preliminary evaluation of the AN/MP role (NCNM 2005)
Findings:“Fulfilling clinical leadership and research aspects of
the role is proving problematic due to time constraints and the growing clinical need for ANP services.” (p43)

Findings from mixed methodology study (including focus groups, Delphi survey, case study observation and interviews. Data collected 2009-2010.
Very strong evidence that AP are conducting research (and strong evidence of audits, especially by CSs).
Study concludes “research skill and motivation present but is in its infancy and occurring against all the odds with little support.”

Worst Case Scenario• Solitary Academics reading theories & practice
that is maybe 10years old• Not engaging in practical setting• Professional nurses – whiz, whiz, whiz• Not engaging in research

Independent Researcher• A prospective Study, to compare the satisfaction of patients attending the
Advanced Nurse Practitioner (ANP ) and the Senior House Officer (SHO ), for sexual health screening in the GUIDE Clinic
• 2005
• This initial assessment of patient satisfaction attending the sexual health clinic has shown patients to be equally satisfied with the care provided by the ANP as they are with the SHO
• It also demonstrates the acceptability of the ANP as a first-line care provider in the Irish Health services. This further strengthens the need for the development of the role of the ANP in the future of health care in Ireland

• Research is a vital role in a Clinical Midwife Specialists job.
• As an educator the Clinical Midwife Specialist must ensure that breastfeeding information given to staff and mothers needs to be up to date and evidence based. This will ensure delivery of a high standard of care for our mothers and babies.

Research/Audits I have been involved with in the last 2 years
1.Rotunda Hospital Breastfeeding Policy Regular audits of this policy which incorporates the 10 steps to successful breastfeeding.
It is a requirement to maintain Baby Friendly Hospital Initiative accreditation that these steps are audited regularly.
![Page 38: Promoting research by practitioners: the National Council perspective](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081517/56815878550346895dc5d8c2/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)

Nurses and midwives can contribute to health research in services.
Best placed to do so are those in CS and AP roles.
Much of the current CS or AP activity would benefit by increased support and resources.
CS and AP should be members of clinical academic networks.
