One of the key roles of the Advanced Nurse/Midwife Practitioner (AN/MP) is in the area of research and the integration of research into practice. However, this is an area that ANPs find challenging to maintain after they have completed their course of academic study. The purpose of the forum is to create and maintain a connection between ANP/AMPs and the University/School. There are mutual benefits for the University/School and for ANPs/ AMPs through a continued connection after completion of academic studies. The inaugural meeting was held on 27th of November 2019 with presentations from: Professor Joyce Fitzpatrick, Elizabeth Brooks Ford Professor of Nursing at Case Western Reserve University’s Frances Payne Bolton School of Nursing Dr Evelyn Duffy, Associate Professor, Director of the Adult-Gerontology Nurse Practitioner Program, Associate Director of the University Center on Aging and Health, Frances Payne Bolton School of Nursing, Case Western Reserve University

Presenters offered advice from their own experience on research and publication as an ANP/AMP.
