Hyogo, Japan joins the Joanna Briggs Collaboration

The core members of The Otemae University Implementation Centre (OUIC) are a strong team of researchers, educators and public health professionals who plan to undertake a range of research activities and educational workshops to address issues relevant to evidence-based practice, with a specific focus on improving clinical practice and healthcare outcomes. Importantly, the OUIC plans to deliver JBI’s Evidence-based Clinical Fellowship Program which is not yet available in Japan. 

The Otemae University Implementation Centre: A Joanna Briggs Institute Affiliated Group’s Convenor, Naoko Nishimura, looks forward to working as part of JBI’s global collaboration and explains how the Centre will contribute to the JBC’s global efforts: 

“We have accomplished researchers in their respective fields of research and who are intimately familiar with the JBI Approach and JBI methodologies, and our strong relationship with the Osaka Nursing Association will enable us to promote evidence-based healthcare while training nursing professionals”. 

In addition to undertaking systematic reviews and facilitating JBI’s Evidence-based Clinical Fellowship Programs, the OUIC plans to promote and disseminate JBI’s resources for evidence-based practice; develop a network with nurses and other allied health professionals; provide consultation services to nurses and allied health professionals in their partner hospitals; and deliver workshops and educational programs related to evidence-based healthcare. 

We look forward to The Otemae University Implementation Centre: A Joanna Briggs Institute Affiliated Group collaborating with JBI and congratulate Convenor Nishimura and the Group’s members.
