Hi Jules
You may be interested in looking at the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) Clinical Academic Training pathway for nurses, midwives and AHP's, webpage below:
http://www.nihrtcc.nhs.uk/cat/masters
An NIHR MRes studentship would cover your tuition fees, salary etc. and allow you to study full or part time, with the support of your employer. You need to have worked for a minimum of one year, I think, but worth considering.
Best wishes
Angela

Subject: Introduction
Dear all
I have been a member of the list for a couple of months now but am not in much of a position to contribute at the moment. I am a recently qualified band 5 midwife on a preceptorship at Nottingham University Hospitals and really keen to develop my interest in research alongside my clinical practice. I have been accepted onto a MRes in Health Research at Stirling starting in September although still working on funding for fees. I have found the discussion on ethnographic studies really interesting so thought I had better say hi and thank members for the useful links. I don't have a set area of interest at the moment, I'm waiting to see what issues arise or becoming interesting in clinical practice. This is a great resource, many thanks to everyone who contributes, any advice for a beginning researcher is most welcome!
