In England, the National Institute for Health Research (the main funder of health research) has broadened its scope to encompass social care research. The expectation is that clinical research nurses will expand their skill set to support these new studies, many of which will employ qualitative and mixed methods. This discussion paper explores the challenges of facilitating this clinical academic workforce development through a case study of a homeless health and social care research project. This was one of the first studies to engage clinical research nurses in this new and expanded role.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Background<\/jats:title>\n \n Much of what is known about the research nurse workforce has been generated through studies of clinical trials in oncology. The\n \u2018caring<\/jats:italic>\n \u2010\n recruiting\u2019<\/jats:italic>\n dichotomy has been used as a heuristic device for identifying workforce issues that can impact on study delivery such as how intense pressure to recruit study participants leads to low job satisfaction.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Design<\/jats:title>\n \n This case study reflects on the authors' experiences of employing a clinical research nurse in a social care research project concerned with the discharge of homeless people from hospital. The\n \u2018caring<\/jats:italic>\n \u2010\n recruiting\u2019<\/jats:italic>\n dichotomy is used to generate new information about the relationship between workforce development and the successful delivery of social care research.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n \n The case study illuminates how social care research can generate different pressures and ethical challenges for research nurses. The time and skill it took to recruit study participants identified as\n \u2018hard to reach\u2019<\/jats:italic>\n was suggestive of the need to move beyond performance measures that prioritise recruitment metrics. The need for different types of staff supervision and training was also warranted as supporting study participants who were homeless was often distressing, leading to professional boundary issues.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Relevance to workforce development<\/jats:title>\n This study highlights that performance management, training and supervisory arrangements must be tailored to the characteristics of each new study coming onto the portfolio to ensure research nurses are fully supported in this new and expanded role.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/jocn.15911","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,6,25]],"date-time":"2021-06-25T01:08:18Z","timestamp":1624583298000},"page":"5375-5383","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Beyond clinical trials: Extending the role of the clinical research nurse into social care and homeless research"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"34","author":[{"given":"Elizabeth","family":"Biswell R","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Health and Social Care Workforce Research Unit King's College London London UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Michael","family":"Clark","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Care Policy and Evaluation Centre The London School of Economics and Political Science London UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Michela","family":"Tinelli","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Care Policy and Evaluation Centre The London School of Economics and Political Science London UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Gillian","family":"Manthorpe","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Health and Social Care Workforce Research Unit King's College London London UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Joanne","family":"Neale","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Addiction Centre Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology & Neuroscience King's College London London UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Martin","family":"Whiteford","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Nursing & Community Health Glasgow Caledonian University Glasgow UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5445-8592","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Michelle","family":"Cornes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Health and Social Care Workforce Research Unit King's College London London UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,6,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_14_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1752\u20108062.2011.00365.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/1471\u20102288\u201014\u201042"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_4_1","volume-title":"Streets of shame","author":"British Medical Association","year":"2019"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/ajcp.12421"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/nicc.12000"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_7_1","article-title":"Improving hospital discharge for patients who are homeless: A realist evaluation","author":"Cornes M.","journal-title":"Southampton: NIHR Journal Report"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_8_1","volume-title":"Transforming out\u2010of\u2010hospital care for patients who are homeless.
