“…While the results from this study contrast with other studies (Ball 2005, Booth et al. 2006, Humphreys et al. 2006), suggesting that nurse consultants working in safeguarding children roles spend less time delivering direct clinical care and more time influencing and leading care, arguably, this is because of the nature of this specific nurse consultant role and is necessary because of the need to drive services forward across organizations and disciplines.…”

“…However, early signs from one small-scale study of consultant nurses and AHPs suggest that research by staff in consultant posts is limited (Humphreys, 2006). This may be a result of the complexity of the role and workload pressures (a factor recognised in Best research for best health) or of managers failing to recognise the research role as fundamental.…”

Publisher: Policy PressThis article discusses research capacity building and its relevance for health practitioners using allied health professionals (AHPs) as a case example. Allied health professionals is a term used to represent a diverse group of health workers, each with a discrete clinical focus, whose needs for research capacity building are likely to be similar to one another and to other medical and nursing professionals. The work of AHPs challenges many current research paradigms being complex and multidisciplinary in nature, often delivered in community settings and focusing on holistic outcomes. This article examines some of the current drivers in the healthcare context and highlights tensions for AHPs in developing their research base in basic science and applied health research. The authors argue for a strategic approach to research capacity building and examine the implications of current policy initiatives for AHP roles and activity in research. The importance of a sustained approach to capacity building is underscored.

While there are many similarities with nurse consultants in adult practice, one major difference was the nurse consultant role in supporting families when caring for children and young people. This meant having a three-way communication style: with the family, the child/young person, and other healthcare professionals. This communication style was observed by the research fellow in participant observation of the nurse consultants undertaking clinical care and is described further in the analysis of the role.
