Have you wondered what’s involved in research and why people get involved in health research?
In this free, three-week course you can learn how doctors and nurses know what treatment or care to give. Through health research, healthcare professionals find new and better ways of preventing, diagnosing and treating disease.
In only three hours per week, you’ll learn how health research happens, why it matters and what to expect if you take part. You will also hear stories from people who have taken part in research, why they volunteered and the difference it made.
The course, developed by NIHR and the University of Leeds, will help you to look at making informed decisions on taking part and the questions to ask before taking part.
