Nursing and AHP Researchers
We are proud to be continuously developing research opportunities for NAHPs at Barts Health NHS Trust. In addition to our two NAHP senior researchers (see below), we support a number of staff on various parts of the clinical academic pathway (internships, pre-doctoral, doctoral, and post-doctoral) and actively encourage and promote research in practice.
Nursing and AHP Senior Researchers
Our NAHP senior researchers are Dr Deanna Gibbs (neonatal occupational therapist) and Professor Julie Sanders (cardiovascular nurse). Between them, they have a wealth of clinical research experience in their respective specialities and in increasing NAHP research capacity and capability. Dr Gibbs is Director of Clinical Research for Neonates and Children and provides clinical academic career development opportunities and support for research in practice for nurses and AHPs working in Children’s and Neonatal services across the Trust. Professor Sanders is Director of Clinical Research at St Bartholomew’s Hospital and Clinical Professor of Cardiovascular Nursing at the William Harvey Research Institute at QMUL, offering research in practice and clinical academic career development opportunities to NAHP and Health Care Scientists working at SBH.
