Newcastle University with Newcastle upon Tyne Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust
The Master of Clinical Research is a taught modular programme, delivered by Newcastle University with
Newcastle upon Tyne Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. It has evolved as a partnership between both organisations. It provides professionals within the NHS, ancillary services and industry with a comprehensive understanding of the processes involved in planning, conducting, analysing and writing up clinical research.
This course is aimed at all professionals who require a thorough generic training in research methodology. It will suit those with some experience of research who wish to know more, and those who want to have first experience of research methodology. This course is particularly suitable for you if: -
* You are an NHS professional working in the field of clinical research, e.g. research nurse, clinical trial manager, and you want to improve your practice and expand your knowledge.
* You hope to work in the field of clinical research and want to acquire the expertise you need.
* You are an Academic Trainee e.g. NIHR Academic Clinical Fellow, requiring a thorough generic training in research methodology.
Students can take the course to either Certificate, Diploma or Masters level and each level is studied over a full academic year. The Certificate and the Diploma are largely self-directed learning, supported by seven face-to-face teaching days throughout the year. The Masters is almost completely self-directed learning as it concentrates on a personal research project and dissertation. There will be one half day of face-to-face teaching on the Masters.
