Pursuing a doctorate in nursing
If you haven't joined in a tweet chat before it's very simple. Here's a guide Tweet
Chat Details
Hosted by WeNurses using #WeNurses
This chat is guest hosted by @jo_swidenbank
There are several different routes to a doctorate for registered nurses and midwives in the UK. These include the traditional PhD by thesis, PhD by portfolio as well as professional doctorates. The traditional PhD by thesis route has little to no taught elements, and is a programme of high-level research skills training to advance theory and knowledge in a specific area of focus. PhD by portfolio (also known as PhD by publication) is the submission of a portfolio of published papers following an overarching theme. The published articles will show how the candidate has contributed to the collective knowledge of their chosen field, and will also include a summary statement which will include the critical analysis of their own work. Professional doctorates are different, and are structured with taught elements. However, the submission of a thesis is required and it should advance professional practice in their field of study.
The move to a graduate workforce for nurses and midwives has been driven by the increasing complexity and acuity of healthcare, and will continue as a graduate profession to support the healthcare needs of future populations. However, how can the postgraduate nurse population be harnessed to help shape the future of nursing and midwifery?

Questions:
- Were you aware of all the different routes to a doctorate? (PhD by thesis, PhD by publication, professional doctorates etc)
- If you were to pursue a doctorate, what topic or area would you choose to study and why?
- What are the benefits of registered nurses pursuing doctoral study to the nursing profession as a whole?
- What do you think are the benefits to patients, service users and the general public of nurses obtaining doctorate degrees?
- If you are currently a registered nurse with an undergraduate degree, would you consider going back to university to pursue a doctorate? If not, why?
- Last question! The NMC requires 450 practice hours over 3 years for revalidation. However, it is not clear from the advice on the NMC’s website if the hours spent undertaking doctoral research full-time contribute towards this. How do you think the NMC could acknowledge the significant professional development that is a doctoral degree during revalidation?

@WeNurses I wasn't until I heard of this chat and did some reading. Always assumed it had to be a thesis. I have a MSc and would be interested in PhD but don't even have any idea how to start writing for publication never mind anything else! #WeNurses |

The time commitment of PhD study is certainly an issue - especially if you’re doing it at the same time as practicing clinically #WeNurses https://twitter.com/vickychas3/status/1182372362106355712 |

Totally agree - you’re going to be working closely with your topic, and investing a huge amount in it. This is why I chose genomics, coming from a haemophilia nurse background. #wenurses https://twitter.com/lizcharalambou/status/1182374076435836928 |

@AgencyNurse The benefit of the @NIHRresearch ICA fellowship scheme is that it allows you to balance continuing clinical practice (& developing those skills) alongside developing your #research career via an intership/PhD/etc. You are funded to do both at a split that works for you. #wenurses |

@Mclean1Chris
10 October 2019 20:19

@WeNurses Think this depends A funded PhD may be available - this would be within a broad pre-specified area but you would gain skills and exposure to a wide research community. Studying your own personal passion is possible - but I think a harder route ( funding / support etc) #WeNurses |

@CareHome_Nurse

@themalenurseuk @WeNurses I think you make a valid point. I think it’s certainly beneficial if the doctorate is in the area in which a nurse is practicing. Having up to date knowledge is helpful the the whole team including the patient. But experience is not something that an be taught #wenurses |

I hear this a lot, but I honestly think that it’s more about determination that being clever. It’s all about your development, the journey is as important as the degree I think. #wenurses https://twitter.com/meloncarrier/status/1182382938752720896 |

@WeNurses I often have a problem with the term Nursing research. I really dont understand or recognise it as an entity. For me research is research, who does it is irrelevant. The only relevance for me is does it improve a patients experience. #wenurses |

@WeNurses In the States there’s a relationship betwn some areas/roles in advance practice. In the UK link is less so obvious. Advance practice [with without doctorates] and the role of clinician researchers needs more definition if the public is going to benefit to the fullest. #WeNurses |

@WeNurses If you can demonstrate you're using your nursing knowledge and skills then should meet revalidation requirements. Nurse managers no longer practising clinically revalidate. #wenurses |

@WeNurses Why? Many people who never see a patient revalidate without a problem. R.E. validation is about refreshing and reflecting, what could be better than a PhD for that? #wenurses |

@maxwele2 @abookclubof1 @WeNurses 3/3 nurses researchers have been criticised for spending too much time on observational rather than intervention research. There are many reasons for this, incl a lack of understanding of the problem which necessitates observation first, & a lack of funding #WeNurses |

@kaye_rolls @abookclubof1 @WeNurses Too much research looks at associations with interventions without understanding causal mechanisms. Complex system make identifying and controlling for independent variables difficult. We need a broad range of enquiry #wenurses |
