Welcome to the South West Sydney Centre for Applied Nursing Research (CANR) website.
CANR was established by the School of Nursing and Midwifery, the University of Western Sydney (UWS) and the Sydney South West Sydney Area Health Service (SSWAHS). The School of Nursing has 2000 undergraduate students and 100 post graduate research students, and the SSWAHS provides health care for around 1.3 million people. Combining the resources of both organisations, provides a strong and enduring nursing and health research culture at CANR.
CANR has established an extensive program of nursing and midwifery research, education and postgraduate research training and supervision. We are working with clinicians in SSWAHS to:
- Conduct research
- Develop evidence based guidelines and
- Promote best practice
We work closely with the clinical facilities across SSWAHS and the majority of projects are in collaboration with clinicians. The CANR team is also active in the development and evaluation of evidence based guidelines.
As you will see from the projects listed on this web site, the staff working at CANR are experienced researchers with strong track records.
We encourage visitors to this web site to contact us to talk about research.
