Description
|
An increasing number of patients
are surviving an episode of critical
illness that requires intensive care (ICU) treatment. Recovering
from
critical illness is a long-term process and ICU survivors and
their families
face many challenges after critical illness. A number of disciplines
have
an interest in critical illness and recovery and research collaborations
across disciplines have the potential to improve health care
practices,
and inform social science theory and methodological developments.
This international and multidisciplinary summer school aims
to:
• Build international collaboration
•
Create networks of early career and senior researchers
•
And provide high quality methods teaching opportunities. |
| Who should attend |
The summer school is aimed at international
early career, doctoral (2 year onwards) and postdoctoral researchers
from both social science and practice-based health care. An
early career researcher is defined as a person who has held
an MPhil, MD or PhD degree not longer than 5 years. |
| Cost |
£100 (includes B&B accommodation
for 3 nights, dinner in the Old College of the University
of Edinburgh, refreshments during all breaks).
