Zusammenfassung:ABSTRACT Aims To understand the current capacity and capability for nursing, midwifery and allied health professional (NMAHP) principal investigator roles in England. Design Quantitative online survey. Methods Online national quantitative survey across England analysed using descriptive statistics. Results The number of NMAHP PIs in an organisation was unrelated to the size of the NMAHP workforce. NMAHP PIs were more common in non‐CTIMP studies. A quarter of organisations had no specific education or support for NMAHP PIs. Most respondents indicated that a national approach to support and training would be helpful. Conclusions Having more research‐active NMAHPs provides career progression, improved staff retention and improves the evidence base for practice. Having a broader range of CI/PIs allows for more targeted and specialty‐specific oversight of research studies and streamlines the acceptance process to allow research to be delivered in a more timely manner. Implications for Practice This will require more collaboration between NMAHP, medical and industry communities to promote a multidisciplinary approach to healthcare research delivery and to ensure that CI/PI roles are fulfilled by the most appropriate person, regardless of their profession. Impact To ascertain NMAHP capacity and capability for PI research roles. Shows where national and organisational effort should be focused to increase this nationally. Reporting Method Cross reporting guidance for survey studies was utilised. Patient Contribution No patient or patient contribution.
