Introduction to Research Awareness in Social Care

It might be useful to begin by saying what this course is not intended to be. It is not intended to be a research methods programme. Many people who have not studied research before are anxious that they will be confronted by a mass of confusing statistics which they neither feel equipped to understand, nor are particularly interested in.

This anxiety has its origins in a perception of research as something done by boffins in white coats surrounded by 'experiments' and computers churning out statistics which only they are qualified to understand. This course is intended to question this perception by highlighting that research is something we all do in our everyday lives.

Huge thank you

I would like to say a huge thank you to Chris for making the enrolment process so straightforward and stress-free. I was feeling very nervous about signing up because I haven’t studied for over 25 years and I’m returning to education as a single parent while working in the NHS. Chris was patient, knowledgeable and incredibly supportive throughout. He explained everything clearly, answered all of my questions, and never made me feel rushed or pressured. Chris is a real credit to learndirect, and I hope this feedback is passed on to him because he has made a lasting positive impression. Thank you for helping me begin my journey towards becoming a nurse.
