South West Clinical School Journal
Editor in Chief
- Dr Frazer Underwood, Associate Clinical Professor (Honorary) and Joint Director of the South West Clinical School in Cornwall.
The South West Clinical Schools is a collaboration between the University of Plymouth and the NHS to encourage nurses, midwives and allied health professionals to explore how evidence informs practice and to challenge current thinking in the context of what the evidence tells us. This often results in trying out new ideas and new ways of working, that in turn stimulates research ideas to develop and be applied. The South West Clinical School Journal aims to share and celebrate evidence informed practice. The journal has evolved to capture the evidence implementation experiences and research activity of nurses, midwives, allied health professionals and other non-medical clinical colleagues. For some colleagues the journal provides a route to their first formal publication.
