Coming up with an idea and writing a research question
16th October 2024
‘Translating your bright idea into achievable research questions is crucial in moving forward with your project and securing the support you need. I started out as a GP in 2015 and quickly saw all sorts of problems I wanted to do something about. NIHR funding initially as an In Practice Fellow and now as a Doctoral Fellow has facilitated my recent journey of turning my ideas into research questions in my area of interest, medical education and securing the GP workforce. I’m looking forward to sharing my learning and top tips from the process with you all’ – Dr Lily Lamb
