The Methods Matter Podcast – from Dementia Researcher & the National Centre for Research Methods. A podcast for people who don’t know much about methods…those who do, and those who just want to find news and clever ways to use them in their research.
In this second series Clinical Research Fellow, Dr Donncha Mullin from The University of Edinburgh brings together leading experts in research methodology, and the dementia researchers that use them, to provide a fun introduction to five qualitive research methods in a safe space where there are no such things as dumb questions!
Episode Four – Focus Groups
In expert corner – Dr Kahryn Hughes, from University of Leeds. Director of the Timescapes Archive, Editor in Chief of Sociological Research Online, Convenor of the MA Qualitative Research Methods and a Senior Fellow for the NCRM.
In researcher ranch – Nadine Mirza is a Postgraduate Researcher and Research Assistant in the Centre for Primary Care and Health Services Research at the University of Manchester and also work with the Department of Clinical Neuropsychology at Salford Royal NHS Foundation Trust. Nadine’s research explores cognitive testing in ethnic minorities and the experience of dementia diagnosis and access to dementia services in British South Asians.
