Exploring the motivations, expectations, and experience of graduate-entry nursing students: A qualitative research study.

Current research demonstrates a sparsity of United Kingdom-focused research into graduate-entry nursing programmes, as well as a need for further research into motivations and expectations of graduate-entry nursing students. The aim of this study was to explore a graduate-entry nursing programme from a student perspective, with a specific focus on a) motivations for enrolling, b) expectations of the programme, and c) experience of the programme to date. A qualitative descriptive design was utilised.

Intercultural gaps in knowledge, skills and attitudes of public health professionals: a systematic review.

Modified realist evaluation of a complex, multi-centred, multi-intervention programme.

Well North was a complex, multi-intervention health improvement programme spanning 10 sites across the North of England. The aim was to address inequalities by improving the health of the poorest fastest, increasing resilience and reducing levels of worklessness. The intention of the programme was for all sites to have freedom and flexibility to conduct different interventions reflecting local priorities.
