‘The #WhyWeDoResearch campaign was established in December 2014 by Claire Whitehouse (@ClaireW_UK), Lead Nurse for Research at The James Paget University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (JPUH). The aim is to raise research awareness and opportunities to staff, patients and the public, and to start a conversation about research between all involved. ‘
The #whywedoresearch Tweetfest is back with 2 weeks worth of a wide range of topics, all exploring why or how we do research. The topics vary from ‘reaching out to involve communities in research’, to ‘digital health & research’, to ‘Clinical Academic careers’.
The Tweetfest is scheduled to being Monday 13th May with the last day being Friday 24th May.
