*NEW FOR 2023*
Please join us for a new intensive course - 'Qualitative Research Methods in Rheumatic and Musculoskeletal Health: in Partnership with Patients'
Dates: Monday 27th - Friday 31st March 2023
Location: Sir Duncan Rice Library, University of Aberdeen
In 2023 we will hold our inaugural intensive course in Qualitative Research Methods in Rheumatic and Musculoskeletal Health: in Partnership with Patients.
During the course, delegates will cover the value of using qualitative methods, independently or in conjunction with quantitative methods; different kinds of data collection and analysis; and quality in qualitative research. The faculty are experienced lecturers and experts in their field. Please see our group and researcher pages at:
The course is underpinned with patient stories and some sessions co-presented with PPI partners. The course was developed with patient partners from our PPI group:
We aim to take delegates to a level that would be covered in a qualitative research methods section of an MPH or module of a taught generic research methods MSc. Whilst the course will cover the principles of qualitative data collection and analysis, how different approaches could be employed for different study designs, and how these could be interpreted, it does not cover advanced analytical techniques. The course assumes no prior qualitative research methods training and will cover basic topics in each of the above areas, as well as some more advanced topics. For example, we will cover thematic analysis, grounded theory, interpretative phenomenological analysis, and how to decide which is the most appropriate method for your research question.
