Welcome to Isabel Dosser who joins the e-seminar today. Isabel is a Lecturer in the School of Nursing, Midwifery and Social Care at Napier University, Edinburgh. Dear Isabel - welcome to the practitioner-researcher e-seminar. As the BERA Annual Conference is in Edinburgh in September it might be possible to meet up with those of us who are attending and/or presenting at the Conference. The call for posters for the practitioner-researcher session on Saturday 6th September is now open. You can access the archives of the e-seminars at: http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/archives/bera-practitioner-researcher.html and please don't hesitate to open your own thread with your research interests. Love Jack.
