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

NSLHD Research - survey access from external groups
When researchers seek ‘access’ to a Public Health Organisation (PHO) site for the purpose of research, as opposed to needing to actually attend the site, there is a governance pathway called an Access Request (click here for application form). An Access Request review is required to be completed for all human research projects that require support from a NSW Public Health Organisation (PHO) in the form of access to participants, tissue or data but do not involve the conduct of research at that PHO. Access request review should be used when the project involves one or more of the following at the PHO: Participant recruitment through posters, leaflets, handouts and letter of invitation but not recruitment through direct contact with potential participants or enrolment (both of which require a Site Specific Assessment); Distribution of surveys and questionnaires through staff of the PHO but not collation and analysis of responses at that PHO (which requires a Site Specific Assessment); and Access to data or tissue held at the PHO but not processing or analysis at that PHO (which requires a Site Specific Assessment). The Research Governance Officer has the discretion to request that the application is submitted for site specific assessment if they consider that the project involves the conduct of research at a site. The NSLHD Research Office will accept university ethics approval in lieu of a Health HREC approval for Access Requests. Please click here for further information on Access Requests including how to submit an Access Request.
NSLHD Libraries update
The Return to Study Library Master Class is now available online. It is suitable for staff who are returning to or considering returning to study after a break.

Statewide Clinical Trial Management System (CTMS)
NSLHD is one of two sites that have been selected to pilot the new state-wide clinical trial management system (CTMS). A CTMS is software that supports the delivery of clinical trials.
The NSW Health Office for Health and Medical Research will hold an open webinar for any NSW Health staff involved in clinical trials. The purpose of the webinar is to provide an initial introduction to the state-wide CTMS project and provide information on system capability, training, change management, and implementation order.
Date : Wednesday 3 November 2021
Time : 2.00 pm to 3.30 pm
To register for the webinar please enter your details via this link.
