Attending the NIHR Newcastle PSRC/Pharmacy event on the 19th of June was a very positive experience for me. Although I was not able to present my latest research findings due to recent changes in my project dataset, the day still proved to be highly valuable.

 

I had the chance to see a wide range of presentations from fellow students and colleagues. Some of the work provided direct inspiration for my own research, while others helped to broaden my perspective on the diverse approaches within our field. I was particularly struck by the experimental-based studies on display, which were not only highly innovative but also showed real potential for future impact.

 

In the afternoon, the workshop on research funding applications was especially useful. It gave me a first insight into the key steps, structure, and approaches involved in applying for research grants. This will no doubt be very important as I continue to develop my academic career.

 

Overall, the event was an excellent opportunity to learn, connect, and reflect on both my own project and the wider research landscape.
