PCRS in Conversation - How Research Can Fit Into Your Everyday Clinical Practice
At the Primary Care Respiratory Society (PCRS), we believe in 'optimal'; respiratory health for all. Our aim is that, together, we can benefit every person with, or at risk of, lung disease.
Are you curious about how research can fit into your everyday clinical practice? In the this In Conversation with the Chair, Katherine chats with Dr Jane Watson, who shares insights on how healthcare professionals can integrate research into their routine, from simple steps to bigger initiatives.
Jane has worked across many respiratory healthcare settings and completed her PhD in 2022 on the barriers and enablers to pulmonary rehabilitation for patients with COPD from primary care, and together with Katherine will explore how we can all contribute to shaping the future of primary care through research.
Don't miss this opportunity to be inspired and discover practical ways to make research a part of your daily work.
These informal and interactive sessions are tailored to healthcare professionals who are new to PCRS - you'll have the opportunity to learn more about the work of PCRS and the benefits of becoming a member as well as the chance to connect with other respiratory-interested professionals.
