Research Interests

Description Of Research Interests

My PhD, informed by previous research, is entitled "Workplace Integration of Indian Migrant Nurses in the Irish Healthcare setting. I have presented the findings to date in the Migrant Nurses of Ireland conference and the SNM research conference. I have published a scoping review protocol in a high impact JBI associated journal. As I am currently an early career researcher my focus is on the completion of my PhD, the assciated dissemination of the findings and developing the necessary research skills to acheive this goal. I will then return to collborative research. This process will be developmental in nature, leading me to garner research grants improve SNM contributions to research. I am currently involved in the Trinity Centre for Practice and Healthcare Innovation which is positioned with the TCD healthcer research area. My PhD research concerns improving the sucess of Indian migrant nurses' workplace integration, which relates to improving delivery of healthcare in the Irish healthcare setting. Following acceptance of my PhD thesis which uses mixed-methods methodology, I will be able, as an expert, to offer my expertise in the methodology to early career reseachers. Having previously researched and published on the topics of Advanced Practice Nursing, Emergency Nursing, Prescribing Practices, I currently supervise Master's students in these areas. I support these students, encouraging them to publish and present their fidnings. To increase my research activity, profile and funding I continually expand my TCD nased and external networks of resarchers with extensive extensive experience in securing large funding awards. As a PI/co-PI I will be a valuable collborator in developing future funding applications for the SNM. Working with collborative research teams will secure larger awards. Indentifying local, national and European funding bodies, planning and preparing research proposals in partnership with the Research and Innovation Office, will maximise the potential for success
