As the Department flourishes and excels, we will continue to meet the very highest levels of academic standards. Our new future is forging together the valuable elements of our current philosophy of excellence in nursing, midwifery and health care practice and integrating these into a culture of innovation to shape future education. The Department currently hosts the Nursing Research Initiative for Scotland and we are a World Health Organisation Collaborating Centre - the only such centre in Scotland. This cross cultural and international focus offers us the opportunity to influence health care provision worldwide. Our Research rating is beyond sector expectations and, with a motivated research active staff, looks set to rise.
Research is the foundation of our practice, academic and educational credibility.
