Research project: An Investigation of successful implementation of genomics in nursing practice in United Kingdom
Abstract
Aspects of genetics/genomics are increasingly being integrated into medicine. To transform healthcare through genomic nurses can play a crucial part because they are central to the public's health through health promotion, prevention and improvement of ill-health. Nurses are often the first point of contact for patients and are best placed to communicate with patients and families. Nurses coordinate multiple services and agencies involved in care. My PhD aims to investigate this area and facilitate the implementation and translation of genomics to nursing practice; patients' bedside; and healthcare service. I am utilising implementation research frameworks to shape and guide my project, employing both qualitative and quantitative approaches.
