On Thursday (12 February 2015) we worked in our group and talked about our research proposal in more detail. There was a lot of strategic discussion, and also discussion around the practical issues of our study idea. We discussed how this international collaboration would be worthwhile for both the UK and also locally here in Brazil. We are living on a planet where people are living longer, and our research proposal would examine knowledge transfer activities in relation to catheter-related urinary tract infection (UTI) in our ageing population, not only in the UK but also overseas.  If there is an opportunity to share best practice with our international colleagues - lets take it as we all want better experiences and safer systems / processes for patients!

We're hoping to apply for funding from the Newton Fund. Again....watch this space! :)
