Advice on financial support, the skills you need and the issues to consider when choosing a research topic

I am a senior lecturer in learning disability nursing and in January I started studying for a PhD. This was not a decision I took lightly There was a lot to consider. How long will it take? What subject should I cover? Should I do it full or part-time? What support will I get from my employer? Not to mention the impact on my work-life balance and the financial costs.
