Projects
This nascent group consists of a collection of academics who are currently involved in a variety of small projects aligned with identified areas of research and expertise. It is our wish to develop clear research sub-themes that will see the expansion of current research activity into large, sustainable and robust educational research projects. As the group matures project descriptions will be added, and where appropriate sub-groups will create their own research group within the Health and Medical Education Research banner.
Current sub-groups:
