The Research in Nursing Care Group (NURECARE) was formally set up in early 2021 to provide support and increase the effectiveness of nursing care research across the services of the Germans Trias i Pujol University Hospital.

NURECARE works on projects from the planning phase to the science dissemination and popularization phases. The group’s objective is to promote excellence in nursing research and to increase the quantity and quality of formal studies conducted within the hospital in this field.

The group provides support at all levels, from ensuring proper planning, methodology selection, authorizations, and grants through to pilot studies, the adaption of forms, the creation of data bases, and ultimately, the production of reports or publication of studies. These studies include those initiated by the hospital and external promotors, with the majority being linked to doctoral theses, or masters' dissertations.
