Biography

Currently professor in nursing at the University of Salford, Manchester, UK,  Martin’s Nursing Power and Social Judgement, Ashgate, Aldershot (1997) examined the social context of a hospital ward, offering insights into the way that nurses and their patients negotiate, or struggle, for the power to achieve their goals through judgemental labelling.  His book Research Ethics in the Real World (co-edited with Tony Long) published by Elsevier/Churchill Livingstone in 2007 takes a consequential approach to real life research ethics and governance problems.

From 2003 to 2010 he was Editor in Chief of Nurse Education Today and is currently a member of the Royal College of Nursing Ethics Committee and the 2014 Research Excellence Framework Sub-panel 3 (Allied Health, Dentistry, Nursing and Pharmacy).
