ITU Research Team

The ITU Research Team are based within the Bristol Royal Infirmary. Working on a rotational basis, Nurses spend half of their time ward-based in their clinical role and the other half in their research role. The Research Team is led by a Research Sister, who helps to lead, support and manage all research projects they undertake.

Return to Practice

The Return to Practice programme is designed to enable nurses whose pin has lapsed to regain their NMC registration. At UHBW this is run in conjunction with University of the West of England who provide the theoretical aspect (which total 6 classes over the course of 6 months), while we provide the practical placement.

There are three entry points throughout the year; January, May and September. This programme is funded by a bursary provided by Health Education South West.
