Research at ¹û¶³Ó°ÔºMS

Within ¹û¶³Ó°Ôº Medical School we have our own Research Department of Medical Education (RDME) however ¹û¶³Ó°ÔºMS also welcomes requests to support research from other ¹û¶³Ó°Ôº departments and external projects.

Our roles as the QAEU is not to assist in project planning or ethics approval processes but to review submitted requests, to ensure that the large number of requests to contact our staff and students for research purposes remains manageable and appropriate.

Please note we cannot approve access to staff employed in NHS Trusts or access to NHS sites for research purposes. NHS trusts have their own research and ethics approval processes that would need to be undertaken for this. We can publicise approved projects to ¹û¶³Ó°ÔºMS students and to ¹û¶³Ó°ÔºMS staff with a ¹û¶³Ó°Ôº contract (but not to our wider clinical faculty employed by NHS Trusts).

Students wanting to get involved in research can:

  • help as a participant in the research projects listed on the
  • visit the webpage
  • consider getting involved in projects to enhance the student experience at ¹û¶³Ó°ÔºMS
  • if you have a specific project in mind, reach out to the relevant faculty member to discuss the possibility of them supervising a research project you design.
