Description

Explore the world of health research and the role volunteers play in transforming treatments and improving health care.
Learn about health research and explore opportunities to get involved.

Have you ever wondered how doctors and nurses know what treatment or care to give?

It’s only through health research that healthcare professionals find new and better ways of preventing, diagnosing and treating disease. Today’s research is tomorrow’s treatment.

On this course, you will learn how health research happens, why it matters and what to expect if you take part. You will also hear stories from people who have taken part in research; why they volunteered and the difference it made.

Our Lead Educator and Mentors will be on hand from __ January 10 to January 30__ to support discussions and to answer your questions. If you join the course after January 30, moderators will still be checking the comments regularly to respond to your queries.
