This course is designed to provide trainees with an overview of the tools and methods available to clinicians who are interested in research.  It assumes a basic understanding of computers and IT and would be best suited for Foundation trainees and those at Senior House Officer Level.  There will be a combination of lectures, small group work and hands on teaching that will provide trainees a complimentary learning experience.

Research is a poorly taught subject within medicine at present and whilst we will not be able to provide a comprehensive in-depth approach to every topic, we hope that each individual will come out with several new “tips and tricks of the trade”.
