Project description
As part of a larger, 3-year project (""Evidence-based Management of Long Covid""), we are conducting an evaluation of a clinic based at New Plymouth Base Hospital. We have interviewed patients and staff; qualitative analysis of these is underway. We have recently obtained case-notes for 15 patients.
The student will be involved in extracting relevant information from these notes, cleaning the data, assisting with analysis and drafting outputs. This might also involve literature reviewing, depending on where we are at with the project at the time the scholarship begins.
The student will be working alongside existing staff at the Health Services Research Centre (Pipitea Campus). An interest in, and experience of, quantitative data analysis is essential, although specific methods will be taught if necessary.
We anticipate that by the end of the scholarship, we will have a draft publication written. The student will be named as a co-author on this.
This project is for a single student.
