Research Student Conference 8th Oct
Innovation and creativity in health research - research student conference
8th Oct 9:45 Management Centre
Our conference theme is ‘innovation and creativity in health research’. This theme recognises the challenges that we often encounter both in research practice,
and in developing new insights on clinical practice, and health service delivery and organisation. These challenges are often the first step in developing the original
contributions to new knowledge or methodology that characterise postgraduate research. The conference will provide students with an opportunity to share
experiences and learning. In addition, there will be opportunity to gain peer and staff feedback on research communication as part of transferable skills development
Conference participation
All School of Healthcare Sciences postgraduate research students are strongly encouraged to attend this conference, and to submit abstracts for presentation.
Attendance at the conference will be open to colleagues from the NHS and from other Schools within the College of Health and Behavioural Sciences. The
conference will include a mix of oral papers and poster presentations, and these will be selected on the basis of quality, programme breadth, and representation
across the research student experience.
