NMH | 2024 225 Education The Joint Research Network T he Joint Research Network was established by the Director of Midwifery and Nursing, Mary Brosnan and Prof Michelle Butler (UCD) to develop a research culture for midwives, student midwives and nurses. As part of on-going development of maternity care services within The National Maternity Hospital, Mary Brosnan recognised that research links between the NMH and their education partners, UCD School of Nursing Midwifery and Health Systems should be formalised. The vision and goals of the group are to translate evidence-based midwifery and nursing knowledge into practice. Since 2007, the group has expanded and evolved to include our Dublin South East Hospital Group partners. • Twitter: @JRNNMHUCD • Website: Joint Research Network (nmh.ie) • JRN Philosophy: Midwives, Nurses, Academics and Students Working Together in a Community of Practice and Research. • Membership: • Academics from UCD School of Nursing Midwifery and Health Systems. • Midwifery and nursing staff and students in the Ireland East Hospital Group. • National Maternity Hospital, Chair: Lucille Sheehy • University College Dublin, Chair: Dr Denise O'Brien • National Maternity Hospital, Vice Chair: Jean Doherty Jean Doherty, Sarah Cullen, Lucille Sheehy, Assoc.
