New: 1st Respiratory Research School
For the first time, we will run a Respiratory School back-to-back with the Scientific Meeting on Saturday 30th May hosted by Prof Aziz Sheikh, co-Editor-in-Chief of our journal now published by Nature, Prof Khoo Ee Ming and Dr Tan Ngiap Chan. It is designed for any delegate who wishes to design and deliver primary care respiratory research. Delegates with an interest and with or without experience of primary care research are welcome to attend as individuals or teams. During the day we will work in small groups, mentored by highly experienced primary care respiratory researchers and teachers, to develop robust research questions and methods that you will present to the other delegates and a panel of expert judges at the end of the day.
Prize for best research protocol presented at the School
There is a prize of £10,000 for the research protocol judged to be the best. Some preparatory work is required for this Research School. Delegates are also encouraged to enrol for the Scientific Meeting on 29th May to expand their learning by submitting a Research Idea abstract. This will give them an initial peer review before the School starts.
We look forward to welcoming you to Singapore.
