The event aims to provide introductory training in social science research skills utilised across the current Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) Theme 4 research programmes that is supported by the Antimicrobial Resistance Cross Council Initiative from the seven research councils in partnership with other funders.
Chaired by Professor Ann Sarah Walker and Professor Alison Holmes.
Confirmed keynote speakers Professor Nick Sevdalis (Kings College) and Professor Helen Ward (Imperial College).
Two parallel crossover workshops:
Workshop 1 – Ethnographic methods and face-to-face interviews
Workshop 2 – Realist review
Aims of the workshops are to explore the current social science research tackling AMR across different healthcare economies, practical recommendations and examples of applying the research methodologies using case studies from England, India and South Africa, and an opportunity for developing new insights into how these methods can be implemented into AMR research. Some of the workshop materials will be incorporated into an e-learning module that will be launched later in 2019. Should you be interested in receiving information on this, please indicate this when registering.
The event will end with a networking and drinks reception between 16:30 – 18:00.
Registration is free; however we have a limited number of places available. AMR theme 4 researchers and MRF PhD researchers in AMR will be given priority in receiving reimbursements for accommodation and travel, which will be allocated on a first come first served basis. All registrants should apply by Friday 9 November 2018 via Eventbrite for a place on the workshop and indicate your request for a funded place if applicable.
