The 0-19 Research Network were honoured to receive recognition for their fantastic achievements as “winners” of 2024’s Nursing Times Award for Public Health Nursing. The 0-19 Research Network has grown considerably since it was originally established in 2013 as the Yorkshire and Humber 0-19 Clinical Research Network (CRN). The project aimed to:
- Support and increase the participation and recruitment of children and families in public health research, with a focus on those underserved populations (research delivery).
- Increase research engagement and capacity of public health professionals working with the 0-19 age group (research capacity building).
The Network is led by the inspirational Louise Wolstenholme who is the 0-19 Lead for Research (Education & Development) & Health Visitor at Sheffield Children’s NHS Foundation Trust and programme management support was provided by Victoria Jackson, Senior Programme Manager at the iHV. Partners include the School and Public Health Nurses Association (SAPHNA), Rotherham Doncaster and South Humber NHS Foundation Trust (RDaSH), Humber Teaching NHS Foundation Trust, and Leeds Beckett University. SAPHNA is proud that the project has been recognised for its success in building research capacity in the 0-19 workforce. A huge congratulations to Heidi Fewings who is a member of SAPHNA’s Expert Advisory Group.
