Practioner Research Training Programme

Are You a Rural Health Practitioner Interested in Getting Involved in Research?

Would you be interested in helping shape a bespoke research training programme for health practitioners? Come along to one of our online information & feedback sessions to find out more!

The Community Knowledge Matters network and the National Centre for Remote & Rural Health & Care are co-developing a training programme designed to support health practitioners to get involved in research, with the opportunity to later apply for project funding from the National Centre for Remote & Rural Health & Care. 

All health practitioners working across rural Scotland are invited to come along to an online information & feedback session on 19th March (2 - 3.30pm) or 26th March (3 - 4.30pm) to:

• find out more about opportunities for practitioners to lead on research;
• discuss your specific training needs and help tailor a bespoke research training programme for health practitioners;
• meet with other practitioners interested in research and hear about wider opportunities for peer learning and support.

Prof. Sarah-Anne Munoz from the National Centre for Remote & Rural Health & Care says: "We want to support rural practitioners in research because we believe that locally-led, community-engaged research ensures that evidence is relevant, actionable, and rooted in the realities of rural practice. By working collaboratively with communities, we can generate evidence and action to improve rural health and care."

The information & feedback sessions are open to any health practitioners working across rural Scotland, with the option to attend on one of two sessions:

• Wednesday 19th March 2 - 3.30pm OR
• Wednesday 26th March 3 - 4.30pm

To register for one of the online information sessions, or express interest in the programme, please fill out this short form.
