However, conducting social science research in health care settings presents a number of practical, social and epistemological challenges. Health research requires working with clinical organisations and policy makers, and a range of stakeholders such as clinicians, managers and service users, who work on different time frames and have different priorities. Successful research that will make an impact needs to engage key stakeholders in the formulation of the questions, conduct of the research and knowledge transfer. This two day course is intended for PhD students and others at the start of social science based health research and will address practical as well as epistemological questions researchers face working in health care settings.
