UEA - The module contributes to the career development of clinical research practitioners by offering a flexible module giving them research skills to better equip them for their current roles and to develop their understanding of the research process. It moves beyond e-learning modalities currently offered such as Good Clinical Practice (GCP) or the NIHR informed consent offering. The module also offers a more flexible access where theory is delivered through a ‘blend' of classroom-based teaching, e-learning, group presentations and student-led seminars.
