Welcome from Dr Andrew Finney; Primary Care Nurse Researcher, Deputy Director of Research and Senior Lecturer, at Keele University School of Nursing.

We hope this page provides you with, guidance to research roles, to funders, specific calls, forms and innovations that benefit you in whatever level of research focus you have. |  |
