{SPAM}? RE: Digest Number 2152

[Guest guest]

Dear Woody

I thought I would add to the findings of the paper about health visitors with

doctorates by telling

you of my experiences. I may well be one of those hybrid types that escaped the

analysis. I gained a

PhD in 2000 awarded by the then University of Wales College of Medicine, School

of Nursing Studies,

titled The value of health visitors’ interpersonal skills in promoting health:

A search for

evidence of effectiveness. The hardest thing was getting a research position in

a relevant field

post doc. Opportunities were very limited.

Although employed on short term contracts for 7 years as a Research Fellow by

the now Cardiff

University School of Medicine, Department of Child Health, until recent

retirement, I was able to

input into various health visiting and public health aspects of research

training in the School of

Midwifery and Nursing and supported a PhD student in aspects of her methodology.

In the School of

Nursing I designed and taught the research module of a Masters in Child

Protection and used my

academic training in supporting the paediatric research and training in the

Department of Child

Health in a subject area related to health visiting. Now in retirement, I am

still using my academic

knowledge for a continuing public health programme of preventing non-accidental

head injuries in

babies with the University Dept. Child Health, the NSPCC, health visitors in the

local NHS Trust and

in Wales generally.

My view is that however limited the number of doctoral health visitors, they

spread their wings

further than one might think and influence health visiting in wider circles than

first assumed. The

difficulty is getting recognition of this as a profession. If only there were a

Royal College of

Health Visiting!

Brilliant news, Ann!

You and Dr. Houston together have significantly increased capacity for

research in the UK (see attached paper from 2007 by Dawn Hillier).

As Hillary Clinton says, 'we CAN do it'.

Woody.

P.S. I voted for Mrs. Clinton on Super Tuesday- her first legal job was in

relation to safeguarding children in US Child & Family courts, and she has

since been a passionate campaigner against 'people trafficking especially

young people enslaved for the huge US 'Vice' industry...

These are great I have already sent them on to someone

else.

Same area of interest is the Shonkoff and Meisels Handbook of

Early Intervention 2nd ed

Cambridge University Press 2000

I remember being so impressed to see the Speech Therapist

using it as a foundation text

when i worked in Sure Start in 2002. It made me think she was

so on the money!
