How to Do Your Research Project

Getting involved in medical and biomedical research through
necessity or personal choice can be a testing experience. Each step
of the process brings its own challenges, from liaising with
supervisors, to the lack of opportunities to promote completed
research.

This brand new How to provides a complete guide to the
process: from the planning stages, to execution, write-up,
preparation for the viva examination, and how to maximise the
impact of your research. It ensures you get the most out of the
experience, both in terms of personal development and academic
achievement, and even provides guidance on what to do when things
don't quite go to plan.

An ideal companion, written by an experienced postgraduate tutor,
this concise and user-friendly manual is full of practical
exercises, key points, and hints and tips, which will give you the
edge when dealing with the more elusive realities of medical and
healthcare research.
