Research Statement
Professor Marian Traynor is a Registered Nurse and her main research interests focus on simulation-based education with a particular interest in interprofessional education. Since the early 2000s an important focus for her work has been on the development of interprofessional simulation. This work has led to the establishment of the QUB KN Cheung SK Chin InterSim Centre.
Over the same period Marian has worked to revise selection and admission to nursing and midwifery culminating in the introduction of MMIs for selection in 2016/17. This work has since developed with Marian leading on the establishment and implementation of a regional selection to nursing and midwifery preregistration education in NI. Marian also established and chaired a research steering group to develop, test and evaluate a nurse psychometric tool to determine suitability for professional nurse training based on values-based recruitment. This work has since been replicated by the School of Social Sciences, Education and Social Work.
Additionally Marian initiated and negotiated with the Department of Health (2019) the first Graduate Entry Masters in Professional Nursing on the island of Ireland, leading to registration with the NMC in 2 years.
Marian has held a number of leadership roles within Queens including Director of Education, School of Nursing and Midwifery, (2013-2017); Acting Head of the School of Nursing & Midwifery (2017), Associate Dean of Education for the Faculty of Medicine Health & Life Sciences (2019 – present).
