NHS Wonder Women
The latest edition of NHS Wonder Women features our very own Dr Helen Hurst, Consultant Nurse, Older People and Frailty, at Trafford General Hospital. In this short film Helen tells us that “now is the right time” to get involved in research and realise that women do make a difference and do need to be recognised. Listen to Helen talk about her perfect role where she can be both nurse and researcher. Hear about Helen’s love of laughter and her passion for clinical work. Be inspired by one person’s 30-year journey in nursing and see what can be achieved.
The NHS employs around 286,000 nurses and health visitors, 89% of which are women. Despite this large number of women in the nursing profession, they are still a minority in senior health and social care research roles. Nursing research is a vitally important emerging and growing field and allows nurses to be better advocates for patients and provide the best care possible.
