Research Journal Club 

NELFT Journal club meets every three months to discuss and critically evaluate articles on a variety of different topics. It aims to encourage wider reading and stimulate debate and discussion across a broad range of fields. Journal club provides the opportunity for individuals to develop their critical appraisal skills in a relaxed and friendly environment.

Journal club is open to anyone who is interested in developing their critical appraisal skills. Please contact R&D via email: r&d@nelft.nhs.uk for further details.

NELFT PhD Club

PhD club would like to invite anyone who is undertaking a PhD in NELFT to get involved.

The NELFT PhD club follows straight after journal club to provide support where required, for individuals undertaking a PhD in NELFT. In particular, it provides an opportunity for peer support, in which those completing a PhD can meet in a supportive environment to discuss their research, including any issues or challenges, and offer each other feedback and advice. It also provides an opportunity for shared learning, as well as a chance to pass on relevant skills and knowledge to each other.If you would like further details about the workshops, or have any queries, please contact R&D via email: r&d@nelft.nhs.uk for further details.
