We offer many great training opportunities for NELFT colleagues, service users, patients and researchers which enhance knowledge and skills to plan, carry out and present research while building professional networks. There is something for everyone, whether you are involved in research now or just curious about research or projects happening across the Trust.
NELFT Research and Development are running the following workshops in 2025:
NELFT Journal Club meets every three months to discuss and critically evaluate research journal articles in a casual and informal setting. The aim of the session is to encourage wider reading and stimulate debate and discussion across a broad range of research topics. Journal Club provides the opportunity for individuals to develop their critical appraisal skills in a relaxed and friendly environment, and is open to anyone who is interested in developing skills associated with reading, evaluating and discussing research.

PhD Club invites anyone who is undertaking a PhD at NELFT to join and get involved. The group meets every three months, straight after Journal Club.
Journal Club provides a meeting space and support for individuals undertaking at PhD at NELFT. It provides an opportunity for peer support and a welcoming and supporting environment to discuss your research project. It is a useful platform to discuss issues, challenges and offer each other feedback and advice. It also provides an opportunity for shared learning and a chance to pass on relevant skills and knowledge.
