Joining our successful Intensive Course in Applied Epidemiology, we are pleased to announce a brand new short course in Qualitative Research Methods in Partnership with Patients.
The new course aims to bring delegates up to speed with a solid grounding in the principles of designing and executing qualitative studies, incorporating real-life examples presented in conjunction with our Epidemiology Group Patient Partners.
The course has a specific focus on rheumatic and musculoskeletal health, and will cover the essential concepts of qualitative research including:
- Qualitative study designs
- Collection and analysis of interview data
- The incorporation of Patient and Public Involvement and Engagement (PPIE) at key stages of research
- How to ensure quality in qualitative research
“We and our patient partners are very excited to offer this brand new course in qualitative research methods, which we have designed in partnership together,” said Dr Elaine Wainwright, Course Convenor and Lecturer in Musculoskeletal Health, “We look forward to working with our delegates in a case study approach, to enable excellence in qualitative research now and for the future”
Annie Rothwell, one of the Epidemiology Group’s Patient Partners, commented: “The group is delighted to have been able to work with academic staff to help shape the course, and we believe it will have a big role to play in delivering sound, insightful research”.
The course will run from Monday 27th March to Friday 31st March and will be held at the Sir Duncan Rice Library. You can find out more information about the course, including the latest updates here.
