A Regional Networking event was held on 28/03/18 in the Victoria Rooms, Bristol. During the day there were opportunities to discuss shared research interests, engage in interactive workshops and forge new relationships. There were also talks given by Professor Havi Carel and Professor Laura Salisbury.
The event was hosted by the Bristol Centre for Health, Humanities and Science and the Exeter Wellcome Centre for Cultures and Environments of Health, in association with the Regional Medical Humanities Network.
The Regional Networking event sought to respond to the training and development needs of our delegates. In order to do this, we asked all attendees to reply to the following question: ‘What is one challenge that you currently face in your work?’ prior to the event. The myriad answers we received were collated, and the event programme was directly informed by the common themes identified.
We welcomed over sixty attendees from across the South West and Wales. Assistance was made available to help with the costs of travel; and priority was given to Postgraduate Research Students and those travelling from Exeter.
