Thanks, Jonny Green, for the invite to the MH Nursing Research Webinar to talk about 'rejection' in our research careers. We need to be much more open, it happens so frequently (across grants, publications and with our peers), its quite harmful, but is part of the game...
Navigating individual trust research and governance approvals for #StaffedWards after a fairly lengthy process of university ethics, sponsorship review, followed by HRA (which was amazingly quick). I am surprised at how different each trust's approach to this process has been so far...
