Objectives for next year
Aim, objectives and KPIs
One of the aims of GOSH-ORCHID is to bring together researchers who can contribute significantly to innovation and excellence in care. Together this group can
influence and help embed a research culture into the fabric of GOSH, and to create, foster and maintain a culture of inquiry amongst nurses and wider allied healthcare
professions. One of the strategic aims of GOSH is to function as a research hospital. GOSH-ORCHID will contribute to this vision firstly through our programmes of
research on experiences and outcomes of children/young people and their families, and secondly through building nursing and allied health professions research
capacity and capability.
GOSH-ORCHID provides a virtual and in-person hub and includes:
1. A core group of PhD prepared nurses and allied health professionals, leading ORCHID as the Strategic Management Team (SMT).
2. Any of the nursing and wider allied healthcare professions within GOSH, staff who are research active, are on a clinical academic pathway or aspiring to be a
clinical academic and/or interested in the work of the Centre.
3. Any doctoral student who is a member of GOSH staff and is a Member of the Clinical Academic Faculty, irrespective of their place of education registration.
4. All researchers on time-limited studies, working with any member of the Strategic Management Team of the Centre.
5. Any nurse or wider allied healthcare professional who has a doctoral qualification and/or is engaged in or intending to engage in post-doctoral research. GOSH
post-doctoral fellows will share the Centre9s commitment to developing a culture of inquiry, undertaking research on experiences and outcomes of children/young
people and their families.
