This guide has been created by a team of researchers from the University of Salford, to help you navigate research and innovation from taking the first steps, right through to publication.

Is this guide for nurses, midwives and allied health professionals like me?

This guide has been developed for all nurses, midwives and allied health professionals who work across health and social care.

You may work in hospital and community services as a direct employee of an NHS trust, providing ambulance, mental health, community or hospital services.

You may work in social care, in environments outside of the NHS/private health care services, more often for independent sector organisations. This may be in residential care settings or home care, or within settings such as charitable organisations, local authorities, faith groups and education.
