The Nursing and Midwifery Research Centre supports multidisciplinary research that has a direct and measurable impact on patient outcomes and wellbeing. Our work directly supports the evidence-based delivery of high-quality and sustainable healthcare services. Through research and education, we aim to create a culture of inquiry that supports and energises our workforce to ask critical questions, generate knowledge and ensure that all care is supported by the best evidence.
Between 2017 and 2024, the Nursing and Midwifery Research Centre has led or supported nationally significant health research; more than $18 million in research competitive research funding and over 450 peer-reviewed publications.
Our team brings together clinicians and academics from nursing, midwifery, allied health, statistics, and economics to identify and solve applied clinical problems. These problems are derived from real-world practice and involve preventing and controlling infections, improving medication safety, delivering comprehensive care, and recognising/responding to acute clinical deterioration. Our work involves the authentic co-design of solutions that meet the community's diverse needs.
