Interventions and strategies aimed at clinical academic pathway development for nurses in the United Kingdom: A systematised review of the literature

Abstract: Aims and objectives To review interventions and strategies designed to progress UK clinical academic career pathways in nursing and identify barriers and facilitators to aid wider implementation. Background For over a decade, the UK political agenda has promoted the entry of nurses into clinical academic roles. Partnerships between the National Health Service and academia are known to increase nursing recruitment, retention and quality of care. However, there remains a lack of nurses working in these partnersh… Show more

“…For instance, NMAHP progress compared to that of medics has been slow with fewer clinical academic career opportunities where research is routinely expected and undertaken as part of practice (Henshall et al, 2021). A bottle neck reflecting poor post-doctoral progress in career pathways has also been noted, particularly in nursing (Dickinson, 2017) Holland (van Oostveen et al, 2017) highlighted that there is an absence of supporting structures for nurses who combine clinical and academic work.…”

“…Advocates, such as Kitson (1999), have argued for doctorate level education to be developed in order to build a stronger culture of inquiry in clinical nursing practice. There has been an increase in the number of nurses undertaking doctorate level research in many countries including the Australia, Scandinavia, the United Kingdom and the United States of America (Carrick‐Sen et al, 2019; Henshall et al, 2021; Wilkes et al, 2015). In the UK, the ‘Shape of Caring’ review reiterated these earlier messages and highlighted that nurses who are educated to doctoral level should form an integral part of the clinical workforce in order to generate a research culture in practice and provide the foundation architecture to make the necessary change (Health Education England, 2015).…”
