Who we are

EUMRS aims to equip students with the skills essential for them to conduct research. We want to get as many students involved in research as possible, and teach valuable transferable research skills. 

Our events will cover:

•  Research skills necessary to excel in assessments e.g. literature reviews, AMKs and Special Study Units
• Critical appraisal skills
• Understanding study types and the hierarchy of evidence
• Getting involved in research as students e.g. through hospital teams, joining the INSPIRE scheme or writing case studies/ reviews.

We will also be hosting regular journal club meetings, to enable you to effectively critically appraise studies, and presentation nights, to help you build the skills to present posters/ deliver oral presentations at conferences.

What we do

• INSPIRE keynote lectures once a term from leading academics 
• Journal club, developing important critical appraisal skills
• Research skills teaching sessions tailored for the AMK 
• Intercalation support including Q&A with students who have intercalated, and support writing applications 

What INSPIRE is doing this year

• Intercalation conference with other INSPIRE universities in the southwest - Bristol, Plymouth, and Cardiff
• INSPIRE Student Health Sciences Research Journal (https://inspirestudentjournal.wordpress.com/)
