Chief Nurse Development Requirements Form

Embedding a Culture of Research and Evidence-based Practice

Dear Chief Nurses and Directors of Nursing,

Florence Nightingale Foundation are inviting you to complete this questionnaire. It will take you 5-10 minutes. We hope to understand your current perspectives on your role in implementing the recently published “Making research matter Chief Nursing Officer for England’s strategic plan for research”. The results will be analysed by Florence Nightingale Foundation and will be used to make recommendations to inform a development programme which will aim to support you in taking the strategy forward. Your individual responses will be anonymised and you will not be identifiable in the final report. We look forward to working with you to enable your leadership to influence the implementation of this strategy.

Best wishes
Florence Nightingale Foundation
