Overview
Qualitative research with its focus upon what people think and feel, and upon how they describe their experiences is playing an increasingly important role in medical research.  For those more familiar with clinical practice and clinical research, however, it can feel like a strange beast - smaller in scale, broader in scope and using theories and terms that are unfamiliar.

In this one-day course we will showcase how qualitative methods can add value to dermatology research.  We will demonstrate how they can help us to understand what it's like to live with a skin condition, how they can help us to interpret clinical research findings, and how they can contribute to the development of new treatments and new ways of working.

During the course we will introduce you to a range of different qualitative research methods.  By the end of the day, you will be more familiar with a range of approaches and should feel more comfortable when reading about qualitative research in dermatology.  For those of you thinking about doing dermatology resarch you will have a stronger sense of the toolbox of methods at your disposal. 

Who is it for? 
The course is tailored to the needs of professionals working in dermatology.  It is suitable for anyone who needs to read or write research papers in dermatology, and present information to colleagues, management, external organisations, or the general public.  It is appropriate for anyone planning to do research in dermatology.

The course will be delivered in person on Thursday 6th June 2024 - 09:30 to 16:30.
