NSLHD Nursing & Midwifery Research Centre
We hope that the resources in these newsletters will assist you to translate evidence into practice, build knowledge and capacity to manage the complexity of health care delivery and behaviour change. Clinical leaders are required to challenge everyday practice, while remaining focused on delivering quality safe patient care. Therefore, an important part of our roles in the Nursing and Midwifery Research Centre is
to provide NSLHD nurses and midwives with guidance in implementing new practices or interpreting evidence to improve patient care. We can offer assistance and support in conceptualising, designing and or implementing your projects with your clinical teams. Additional resources can be found on our intranet: http://intranet.nslhd.health.nsw.gov.au/ClinicalNet/Nursing/Research/Pages/Research.aspx

Translational research tips
A gentle reminder that we have a lot of evidence-based practice resources on our intranet page. We encourage nurses and midwives to use the CARE framework to guide their approach to promoting and maintaining evidence-based practice. We welcome feedback about the content of our intranet pages (and welcome suggestions). In addition, we encourage you to contact Roz or Marg via email if you require advice.
Getting it right for sleep NSW TAG guideline A big passion for Roz is improving conditions conducive for patient sleep in hospital settings. Roz was honoured to be asked to review this well-conceived accessibly evidence-based document for the NSW Therapeutic Advisory Group. It is highly recommended that all clinicians working in acute care settings read it. Briefly the document outlines the risks of administering hypnotics and sedatives to hospital patients. There are evidence-based suggestions to promote and maintain sleep for hospital patients contained within. Australian College of Critical Care Nurses’ journal club Julia Pilowsky (Clinical Nurse Specialist, RNSH Intensive Care) and Roz will be facilitating a journal club on 23 February 2022 at 1800hrs. They will be appraising a systematic review. It is free for ACCCN members and only $20 for non-members.
