Subject: Re: UK academics: advice sought please re planned move of
midwifery into nursing
Dear Soo,
We are in the middle of a chaotic reorganisation in which Nursing and
Midwifery has been merged with Allied Health Sciences and Police
Studies! Our Associated Dean for Research has been disestablished and
they have appointed an Optometry Researcher as Associate Dean for the
whole school. He is a Fellow of the Royal Society and doubtless very
distinguished in his lab, but neither knows nor cares about health
services and public health research. I wouldn't expect him to know the
difference between nurses and midwives.
Meanwile, we have got a grant from Research for Patient benefit for the
Barkantine birth centre evaluation and I keep getting appriaches from
paediatircs in the medical school for collaboration. Obstetric research
is a big black hole - I think wallet-based health care in Harley St and
the London Bridge Hospital is their main external interest.
For the effects of the above on midwifery eductaion, ask Dora. The one
bit of good news in this chaos, is that the School has been subdivided
into three clusters, nurses in one, allied health sciences and the
coppers in another and the third is midwifery, public health and
primary care, food policy, applied psycho-social sciences and health
management.
Best wishes, Alison
