Research is a core part of the NHS. In order to provide better healthcare we need to do research. Yet research is complex to carry out and requires a wide range of skills. This course is designed to introduce some of the core skills required to carry research successfully.

29 - 30 September 2014 & 2 - 3 March 2015

Imperial College London are offering a "Starting out in research" course and are offering AHPRN members a 10% discounted rate on course fees.

This short course provides an excellent grounding of the critical underpinning skills required for performing high quality research. The course is offered in two 2 day modules.
