“How is your Project going?” My CLAHRC Fellowship year Miranda Fyfe, December 2011
What have I done? • Helped with early designs for: • ‘CAPE’ study • Hospital admissions study • Contributed to formal write-ups: • GP/DN training analysis • 24/7 advice line audit • Working jointly on an opinion piece • Measurement in EOLC • And more … • Attended Liverpool SDO conference • Referee on a BioMed submission • Cancer discussions review abstract screening
Challenges faced • Organisational • Juggling an additional set of demands … • … and the multiple materials accumulating • Lack of admin support in core role • Practical • Physical materials in two places • IT: Dropbox is great, but only at home! • Mental • A different type of work required: focussed and concentrating! • Switching ‘hats’ regularly
What I have learned… • About “Research” • What it can, and can’t reveal • The work needed to set up, and time to do studies • And how very, very much is out there! • About myself • Once a copy-editor, always a copy-editor • I *can* speed-read after all, if needed • The importance of feeling part of a team • About the CLAHRC • It’s more than just End of Life • It’s exciting and innovative • Its people are all so friendly, as well as talented
