Course Communication
Common questions from new academic trainees
• What research can I do ?
• Do I pick my own project or is one allocated to me?
• How do I get a supervisor ?
What research can I do?
• Start easy
• Start clinical
• Find someone to help / advise
• Decide on your skill, not your disease
• Keep realistic - research is the art of the possible
Picking a Project ?
• You don’t need money to do research
• Clinical research remains as relevant as ever
• It’s fine to start with case descriptions, case series,
outcome studies etc.
• Specialise in patients that other doctors don’t like
• Develop a niche
Training research and support
• Training courses:
• Research methodology courses
• Patient and Public Involvement training
• Bioinformatics workshops
• Designing Clinical Research Course
• Public engagement
• Preparation for external funding interviews
• NIHR Research Design Service (Thursday 10am-12pm)
• R&D research drop in sessions (Wednesday 2-5pm)
To oversee education and training in KHP: ensuring consistent standards of excellence,
sharing of good practice and innovation and making best use of resources
• Train and develop the entire workforce using high quality, easily accessible, on-line training
resources
• Provide support to improve the overall quality of education and training and increase
learning opportunities for students and trainees
• Build capacity in research skills ensuring more patients benefit from research
• Extend our education reach at home and abroad, widening access
• Better prevention and management of long term conditions, by delivering multi-professional
education and training across care pathways to enhance the delivery of integrated care
