Description

Centre for Wellbeing & Long-term Health, Rehabilitation & Prevention workstream Networking and Development Event - in BG-212

Does your research broadly fit the category of "rehabilitation and prevention"? Then join us for this first event of the Rehabilitation & Prevention workstream of the Centre for Wellbeing and Long-term Health!

Whatever the focus of your research is or your professional background, whether it be at population or individual level, public health or rehabilitation of a particular condition in a particular demographic of people, whether you are a PGR or a senior academic, we would like this to be your research home. Come and share the highlights of what you do in a 5-minute Lightning talk, and hear from the highlights of others.

We want this to be a stimulating event and you might just find your next collaborator(s). Dr Jonny Branney and Dr Katie Collins, the workstream leads, will be taking notes with a view to creating a quick reference guide of what the workstream members are working on to make it easier for you to find the expertise you need for your next project. We want the workstream to be a place to talk about the sort of research enquiry that gets you out of bed in the morning, that puts the joy into your working life. A place to share and celebrate in your project successes, and to get a welcome lift when your latest research bid or journal submissions are rejected. A place to learn from those more experienced, from those with alternative expertise, identify a mentor or a coach, and for others to learn from you and benefit from your coaching and mentorship. A place to test out your ideas and get feedback from critical friends. A place to identify collaborators for your next research project. Is your research broadly "rehabilitation and prevention"? Then this is your place.

Lightning Talks

Attendees are required to prepare a 5 minute lightning talk - 5 PowerPoint slides maximum to summarise your background as a researcher, what you've done, are doing, and plan to do. Nice and concise so we quickly get to know what everyone is about. There will be a timer!
