About QRF
The QRF is a monthly meeting series welcoming anyone who is conducting or interested in qualitative research in health and healthcare. Members include both University research staff and clinical staff from Addenbrookes.
Each month a different speaker leads a session, often on their own research (this can be at any stage – during planning, data collection, while analysing data, or following the completion of the study) but sometimes also on issues or debates within qualitative research more broadly. Members can also bring problems or dilemmas to the group to ask for feedback or advice – we periodically host “troubleshooting” sessions to cater for these.
We are on the look-out for speakers, so if you have something you would like to present (or know of someone who would) then please do sign up here!
