    I am a NIHR SRL for community nurses. My objectives for the three-year programme are: to embed a research active culture within community nursing teams; increase the priority of community nurse-led research setting an agenda with people using the services and collaborating with academic partners, regional Trusts and local authorities; establish a supported pathway between existing improvement programmes (QI, service evaluation, clinical audit) and research. Within my Trust I have rolled out the Self-assessment of organisational readiness toolkit, created a staff research interest registry to better understand and serve the workforce, and am soon to launch our nursing journal club. Regionally, I work collaboratively with two other Trusts providing community care to deliver a Research Champions Programme and to develop the programme into a wider pathway. Nationally, I am part of the leadership group for the Queen’s Nursing Institute Nursing Research Forum delivering and designing content and I sit on the Working Group for the Community Healthcare Alliance for Research Active Trusts (CHART) to unite community health and care providers, healthcare professionals and public bodies to advance patient-centred research in community settings. Additionally, as a community clinical research nurse I deliver NIHR Portfolio research to gather high-quality and credible data to contribute to improving outcomes for people using community services. Nursing is a safety critical profession and nurse-led research must be at the core, be transparent and be accessible.
