| Edinburgh Winter Stroke School |
18-20 February 2019. Salisbury Green Conference Centre, Pollock Halls, Edinburgh |
Helping new and aspiring clinical academics to develop answerable research questions. Applications are encouraged from all specialities relevant to patients with stroke. The Edinburgh Stroke Winter School aims to help new or aspiring clinical academics develop answerable research questions. We will concentrate on the first three steps of developing research project: defining your research question; choosing the best design; and presentation to potential funders and collaborators. We are a group of stroke physicians, radiologists, neurologists and pathologists who study clinical questions to improve understanding of the causes and consequences of stroke, and how better to improve prevention and recovery. Over the course of 3 days, we will work with you to develop a research question that is new and is feasible for a PhD or MD project. Winter School participants join the Edinburgh Clinical Research Methodology Course for formal training in research methods. At the end of the School you will present you idea research question to a panel of experts.
