This conference provided the opportunity for BU researchers to share their research experiences with colleagues from across several continents and for them to network with world experts and research teams with similar interests. Jenny Roddis, Louise Worswick and Liz Norton from the School of Health and Social Care presented ongoing and completed PhD – related work at the conference. The theme of the congress was ‘Engaging people in health promotion and well-being’. Its purpose was to consider how qualitative research methodology and methods can facilitate active involvement of individuals in co-constructing their health. Louise presented a paper about patient perspectives of co-learning with primary care teams. Jenny presented an ongoing grounded theory study related to hereditary thrombophilia and Liz gave a paper about the unexpected learning derived from a grounded theory study about skin cancer prevention and young women. Liz is keen to deliver sessions about qualitative research and grounded theory to student groups across the university and so please contact her to discuss as appropriate.
