Introduction to Clinical Research Including Critical Appraisal 2019

Introduction to Clinical Research Including Critical Appraisal is organized by Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh (RCPE) and will be held from Feb 26 - 27, 2019 at Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh, Edinburgh, Scotland, United Kingdom.

Overview :
Gaining an understanding of the process, regulation and ethics of research is a core requirement for all higher specialist training courses. Research is a fundamental part of all NHS activity, and facilitation of research is an essential part of the role of all staff within the health service. All consultants, regardless of whether they are affiliated with a university, therefore require knowledge of the research process and experience in research participation.

This two-day course, which is aimed at early years medical trainees, particularly CMT2 and ST3, will equip you with the knowledge of how research works – from study conception, through funding, conduct, analysis and dissemination of the results. Interactive group work will show you how to appraise evidence, write abstracts, review an ethics proposal and pitch a grant proposal. Whether you are thinking of embarking on research or wanting to gain the essential competencies for accreditation, this course will show you how you can engage with research, and trainees with recent research experience will share their stories of what it is like to make the jump from clinical work to the research arena.

Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.
