Martin Johnson RN PhD, Emeritus Professor in Nursing, University of Salford Martin began nursing at the Manchester Royal Infirmary and after a decade of clinical working undertook Master’s and PhD degrees at Manchester University, something of a seat of power in nursing research in those days. Having worked in both NHS and University sectors, he was also Editor of Nurse Education Today for a decade.

In this talk he will argue that the efforts many lecturers naturally devote to studying their students should instead be directed at improving patient care. He will illustrate the enormous lengths early nurse researchers went to for their science and Martin will examine the main drivers of UK Nursing research as he sees them, looking at key individuals, key methods and how subjects are evolving.
