The Research Committee is a consolidate group of PhD-trained clinical nurses and research specialists aiming to educate on research methodologies, raise awareness of research activities, develop research projects and supporting the active participation of EBMT Nurses Group members in research.
Over recent years, the Research Committee has contributed to collaborative research initiatives addressing key areas of transplant and cellular therapy nursing practice, including medication adherence, skin care in graft-versus-host disease or central venous catheter care. These projects have helped to identify practice variation and inform clinical standards across EBMT centres.
