PhD Nursing Studies

The PhD Nursing Studies programme is an advanced postgraduate research degree for students wishing to conduct in-depth independent research on an area to contribute to nursing knowledge and evidence. It offers the student a chance to make a significant contribution to knowledge in nursing.

Please check the  postgraduate Degree Finder  to see the specific entry requirements, start date and application deadlines. 

The PhD programme offers the possibility to work with and be supervised by a range of academics across many areas of Nursing Studies, who have international reputations and outstanding publications in their areas of expertise. Our programme is undertaken over three years full-time or six years part-time.   

In the first year, students typically choose a number of optional taught postgraduate courses from within the School of Health, or other Schools within the University, as appropriate to their research programme, and as agreed with their supervisor. Subsequent years of the PhD programme primarily focus on recruitment of study participants, data collection and analysis of the main research, which can then be written up and completed by the end of the third year.

Current Student Research

Why choose this programme.

This programme is an advanced research degree enabling students to conduct in-depth independent research on a topic of their choice, thereby contributing to the knowledge and evidence base for nursing worldwide. Our current and past students have contributed to a range of research areas within nursing and healthcare more broadly. 

A vibrant and inclusive research environment

The University of Edinburgh is a world-leader in research and innovation and an international centre of academic excellence. Students on this programme will become part of an active and diverse research community in the School of Health in Social Science and will have access to the wide-range of learning environments and outstanding resources that the University has to offer. Our postgraduate researchers work in close proximity to each other, enabling them to pool their expertise and knowledge to tackle complex challenges and push the boundaries of discovery. Students will be encouraged to engage with a wide range of seminars, talks, and events, and often have the opportunity to present their own research at national and international conferences. Our student-led postgraduate research blog provides a snapshot of the activities and events our PGR students organise and are involved in.

Find out more about ongoing research in our School

Our main areas of research activity and development in Nursing Studies currently relate to the themes of experience of health and illness, and organisation and policy for person-centred care. We have expertise in a range of qualitative and quantitative and mixed methods research approaches.

Supervisor Specialties:

Policy, professions and care, sudden interruptions in health, global public health, social justice and health inequity, phd by distance.

There is also an opportunity to undertake this programme through our PhD by Distance option. The PhD by Distance is available to suitably qualified applicants in the same areas as our on-campus programmes: Clinical and Health Psychology, Counselling and Psychotherapy, Health in Social Science and Nursing Studies.

The programme allows students who are unable to commit to basing themselves in Edinburgh full time to study for a PhD in a field of Health in Social Science from their home country or city - however this is not intended to be a fully online distance learning programme.

Students enrolled on this programme will be expected to come to Edinburgh at least once per year of study to meet with their supervisors. The length and timing of these visits are negotiable but students should expect to spend at least two weeks at the University of Edinburgh during each year of study.

Doctoral candidate Gabrielle Gussin tackles antimicrobial resistance starting with hospitals and nursing homes

• Publication date April 8, 2024

Gabrielle Gussin, a doctoral candidate pursuing a PhD degree in Public Health , recently made waves with the publication of her first-authored article in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) . Titled “Reducing Hospitalizations and Multidrug-Resistant Organisms via Regional Decolonization in Hospitals and Nursing Homes,” the article emphasizes the importance of combatting antimicrobial resistance on a regional level across healthcare facilities, standing as a significant contribution to the field of public health.   

Gussin along with several other contributing authors discovered that protective bathing and nasal decolonization protocol starkly reduced the prevalence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, infections, hospitalization, and death within regional hospitals and nursing homes. “This work demonstrates that patients are safer and experience fewer infections when hospitals and nursing homes in a region work together for infection prevention efforts,” she shared. 

While there are many significant public health challenges, I am most concerned about the growing threat of antimicrobial resistance. Infections caused by drug-resistant organisms are increasingly difficult to treat, posing a major threat to global health and patient safety.” – Gabrielle Gussin, PhD Candidate

With a passion for science and puzzle solving, Gussin’s public health journey started during her Master’s degree training, where she became interested in infectious diseases research during a project examining host-microbiome interactions of influenza infection. Fascinated with questioning the function of each piece of a system, her work as a clinical research coordinator inspired her to pursue doctoral training in public health. She was drawn into studying epidemiology and prevention of infectious diseases in healthcare settings and vulnerable populations as she collaborated daily with a multidisciplinary team of infectious disease experts, epidemiologists, and public health stakeholders. Gussin currently holds an NIAID-funded F31 training grant to support her dissertation, entitled “Endemic and Emerging Multidrug-Resistant Organisms in Nursing Homes: A Neglected Clinical Setting. 

One of the most rewarding experiences of her career in public health has been engaging with local nursing homes for infection prevention and quality improvement initiatives. As a member of the COVID-19 Prevention Team for Orange County nursing homes, she helps to provide education, training, and guidance to prevent a rapid transmission of COVID-19 among the staff and highly at-risk residents. Before her recent first-author publication, Gussin was also recognized for her work on antibiotic resistance as an ambassador for “This is Public Health-Global” by the Association of Schools and Program in Public Health (ASPPH). 

“While there are many significant public health challenges, I am most concerned about the growing threat of antimicrobial resistance. Infections caused by drug-resistant organisms are increasingly difficult to treat, posing a major threat to global health and patient safety,” adds Gussin.

To combat this multifaceted issue, she believes in the employment of multimodal interventions and extensive prevention strategies. For Gussin, public health is a dynamic field that connects people from various contrasting disciplines to understand, address, and intervene in the complex drivers of human health and disease–hoping to solve the puzzle for a healthier community. 

Gussin is co-mentored by Dr. Susan Huang (corresponding author on the journal referenced above) in the UC Irvine School of Medicine and Dr. Oladele Ogunseitan in the UC Irvine Program in Public Health.

Undergraduate  

As the largest group within the healthcare workforce, nurses have a pivotal role in providing, leading and coordinating care. Nurses work within the multidisciplinary team, across a range of health and social care environments, supporting service-users to make informed decisions about their holistic healthcare requirements.

The programme is science based, with anatomy, physiology, biochemistry, and microbiology taught by subject specialists in first and second years.

We offer a supportive environment for learning within a small class size, with an intake each year of around 50 to 60 students.

The Bachelor of Nursing (Honours) programme is consistently ranked at the top of the University league tables: for 2024 Nursing at UofG is ranked 1st in the UK in the The Times and Sunday Times Good University Guide, 2nd in the UK in the Complete University Guide and 2nd in the UK for General Nursing in the Guardian University Guide.

Programme structure

The BN (Hons) programme is a four-year professional degree. Learning is equally divided between University and practice learning environments.  

In year 1, you will develop your knowledge and understanding of the professional and wider social context of nursing and health. In addition, you will study a range of sciences, including social sciences, anatomy, physiology, microbiology, and biochemistry. You will also develop fundamental care skills and undertake clinical placements in hospital and community settings.

In year 2, you will study adult nursing and deepen your knowledge and understanding of biomedical sciences and ethics. Biomedical science subjects include anatomy, physiology, biochemistry, genetics, microbiology, and pharmacology. Your core nursing courses will include the study of nursing theory, social policy, and research methods. The focus of your study in second year is to provide a biological basis for linking health with ill health and disease processes. You will undertake more clinical placements and further develop your communication skills, relationship skillsand knowledge of nursing procedures.

Year 3 

In year 3, you will advance your study of adult nursing, research for evidence-informed practice, pharmacotherapy and human disease and pathology. The focus of third year is on developing a holistic and integrated approach to the assessment, planning, delivery and evaluation of evidence-informed nursing care and therapeutic interventions for people with a range of health conditions. You will advance your study of clinical skills providing an opportunity to develop your knowledge and skills for holistic person-centred assessment. Looking forward to your career as a registered nurse, you will learn the skills required to supervise nursing students and to consolidate your learning in relation to communication and relationship skills, preparing you for an array of opportunities on your clinical placements.

In year 4, the Senior Honours year, you will advance your study of health and social care policy, leadership, professionalism in nursing and global health challenges. The focus of year 4 is to advance your understanding of the wider societal, environmental, economic, and political factors that impact on the health of people and populations and the ways in which you can influence healthcare. You will have the opportunity to investigate an area of interest related to nursing and healthcare through a written dissertation. The final clinical placement is also incorporated into this year.

Practice placements

During this programme, you will be required to attend placements anywhere within the Greater Glasgow area.

University of Glasgow Scottish Practice Assessment Document (PAD)

All Scottish Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) have worked collaboratively to produce a single Practice Assessment Document (PAD) for Scotland, which must be completed by all nursing students undertaking a pre-registration nursing programme.

The purpose of the PAD is to provide a record of the student’s practice learning progress and achievement of learning outcomes throughout each practice learning experience (PLE). This allows current and future Practice Supervisors, Practice Assessors and Academic Assessors to see an overview of student progress from the first PLE through to the last.

• Practice Assessment Document (PAD)

Programme flow

The programme flow is very carefully planned to ensure that students meet the regulatory requirements. Students must adhere to this programme flow and holidays must only be arranged for the scheduled vacation weeks.

• BN Clinical Planner 2021

Practice Learning Experience handbook

The Practice Learning Handbook provides provide guidance and information for students and practice learning staff involved in supporting University of Glasgow Bachelor of Nursing (Honours) (BN Hons) students. It contains an outline of the BN Hons programme, details of role expectations of students and staff who support students on practice learning experience (PLE), university guidelines for the assessment of students and staff contact details. This handbook should be used in conjunction with the student’s Scottish Practice Assessment Document (PAD).

• BN Practice Learning Handbook

Grading of practice

Students will be supervised and assessed in practice in accordance with the NMC (2018) Standards for student supervision and assessment (SSSA). During each placement, students will work closely with a Practice Supervisor who will provide guidance and direction. The Practice Supervisor will work closely with a nominated Practice Assessor. Together, the Practice Supervisor and Practice Assessor will discuss the student’s performance in relation to each of the platform proficiencies. The outcome of this assessment will be documented in the student’s Scottish Practice Assesment Document (PAD) before being reviewed and confirmed by the student’s Academic Assessor.

Within the BN (Hons) programme, practice learning is credited and graded in the same way as any academic work the student undertakes. The assessment of practice learning is both formative and summative, with the formal stages of assessment being the interim(s) and then final discussion and assessment. The student should first be assessed for achievement of the proficiencies and communication and relationship skills/nursing procedures, for the relevant part of the programme. The student’s overall performance should then be rated using the grading scale in the PAD (based on Schedule B of the University of Glasgow’s Code of Assessment).

• BN Schedule B

The student’s performance is given a grade from A to F. A grade ‘D’ (satisfactory) meets the minimum threshold requirement to pass a practice learning placement. However, when grading a student, it is essential to consider the Part of study, the level descriptor and the learning outcomes listed in the PAD (Part 1 p. 38 Part 2 p. 58 and Part 3 p. 99). In other words, students are assessed in context of their stage of education and what can be reasonably expected of them at that stage. Therefore, it is possible for a Part 1 student to achieve an A grade if these components are considered together.

Any student who attracts a fail grade (E, F) will be required to repeat the PLE, in keeping with the University of Glasgow’s Code of Assessment. Any questions or queries about grading practice should be directed to the student’s academic assessor (or Part Lead in their absence).

Raising a concern

Concerns about a student’s clinical performance, conduct or professionalism should be raised as soon as possible to allow discussion and learning development planning. This will normally take place in the PLE and may involve the student, the Practice Supervisor and/or Assessor, the Academic Assessor and Practice Education Facilitator/Care Home Education Facilitator (where applicable). An interim review sheet will be completed by the practice supervisor/assessor identifying the areas of concern clearly so that a learning development plan can be created which sets out how these areas of concern may be addressed. The Academic Assessor may also make an entry in the “additional notes” section of the student’s PAD. This allows ongoing assessment of the student’s learning development which can be recorded in the development support plan in the PAD. For more information, please refer to the Practice Learning Support Protocol in Section 3 of the student’s Scottish PAD.
