The applied clinical and laboratory-based research discussion forum is a new venture within the School of Health Professions. This occurred in response to the growing number of colleagues engaging in research which directly impacts on patient care.
The group provides a forum for discussion of research activities, for sharing expertise in methods and research approaches and to offer support to all those undertaking or wishing to undertake research in this area.
The applied clinical and laboratory-based research discussion forum supports all members associated with the group in their research activities, help colleagues with conference presentation preparation, with research planning and publication activities as well as grant applications
The group includes physiotherapists, occupational therapists, osteopaths and podiatrists. The group collaborates with staff from other parts of the university and with departments in other universities together with clinicians and managers locally.
