More Information

The course introduces the key considerations when using qualitative methods in clinical trials.

Throughout the three-day course, delegates will learn about the theory, relevance and value of qualitative research in all stages of a clinical trial as well as gain an appreciation of different types of qualitative methodology used in clinical trials.

We will primarily focus on clinical trials but will also consider qualitative research as part of feasibility studies that can be used to test interventions in preparation for a large clinical trial.

By the end of the course, participants should:

·         Understand how qualitative research can complement trial methodology at all stages of clinical trials

·         Appreciate specific methodological issues such as ethical requirements and sampling challenges when designing qualitative research in clinical trials

·         Appreciate how to generate, manage and analyse qualitative data in a clinical trial

·         Understand reporting requirements for qualitative research conducted as part of a clinical trial

The course is intended for anyone seeking an introductory course on the use of qualitative research in clinical trials including the theory, relevance and value in all stages of clinical trials.

The course will comprise of lectures, activities (individual, diadactic and small group) and discussion.

Exact timings and further details will be provided nearer the time, though days will usually start around 09.00 and end at 16.30.

All sessions on the course will be led by experienced staff from University of Nottingham.
