Research Working Group

This new working group (WG) consists of the following persons:

• Professor Danny Kelly, EONS Board member (co-chair)
• Dr Mary Wells, EONS Board member (co-chair)
• Dr Lena Sharp, EONS Board member (appointment to be confirmed at Stockholm General Meeting)
• Dr Ulrika Ostlund, Umea University, Sweden
• Dr Theresa Wiseman, Royal Marsden Hospital, UK
• Others to be appointed

The objectives of the WG are to:

• identify and review new funding opportunities
• share research expertise to ensure that EONS members benefit from the research efforts of its members
• review how research evidence can best be shared within the society and with our members
• help in the provision of education for EONS members to engage in research
• provide a platform to publish and disseminate nursing research findings at conferences and other events
• encourage collaborative research projects with other professional organisations (especially patient organisations), in accordance with Charity Commission rules.
• advertise, review and monitor the progress of EONS research grants
• review the research strategy to ensure it remains relevant to the changing needs of cancer nurses across Europe
• Provide workshops and other training opportunities to encourage members to develop skills & interests in research.

We are currently working on reviewing our research priorities and organising a second research proposal workshop, following a successful workshop in June 2011.

We look forward to exploring and developing opportunities for EONS to enhance its profile as an organisation that supports evidence based cancer nursing through the development and implementation of research into practice.
