SUMMARY:Knowledge Mobilisation in Research
DESCRIPTION:A one-day live online short course from Bristol Medical School on knowledge mobilisation: what it is\, why funders now expect it\, and how to build a knowledge mobilisation plan into your own research. \nThe National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR)\, along with other funders\, increasingly expects grant applications to include knowledge mobilisation approaches that strengthen the pathway to impact. Knowledge mobilisation is about sharing knowledge between different communities\, creating new knowledge together and catalysing change. \nAcademics at NIHR Applied Research Collaboration (ARC) South West have spent the past decade exploring and developing these approaches\, working closely with colleagues at the NIHR. This course introduces the key concepts\, definitions and latest developments in the field\, then takes you through the process of designing a knowledge mobilisation plan for a research project. \nIf you are new to the topic\, our earlier webinar An introduction to knowledge mobilisation\, co-presented by course tutor Dr Helen Baxter\, is a good place to start. You might also enjoy Knowledge mobilisation is everyone’s business and our guide to NIHR impact for researchers. \nWhat the course covers\n\nWhat knowledge mobilisation is\, including a definition of terms and differences in terminology internationally\nThe evidence base for knowledge mobilisation and its role in facilitating impact\nHow to design a study that incorporates knowledge mobilisation\, including theories\, stakeholder analysis and knowledge-sharing approaches\nKnowledge mobilisation approaches for different stakeholders\, including practitioners\, policymakers and public contributors\, and the use of different ‘co’ approaches such as co-production\n\nWhat you will learn\nBy the end of the course you should be able to: \n\nExplain what knowledge mobilisation is and is not\, and how it relates to impact\, dissemination and coproduction\nIntegrate knowledge mobilisation approaches throughout the research cycle\nIdentify the key considerations when designing a knowledge mobilisation plan for a research topic or project\n\nTutors\n\nDr Helen Baxter previously held an NIHR Knowledge Mobilisation Research Fellowship and was later an NIHR Senior Research Fellow advising on knowledge mobilisation. She now advises and publishes on knowledge mobilisation at NIHR ARC South West.\nProfessor Sabi Redwood is Professor of Social Science Applied to Health and Care and Deputy Director of NIHR ARC South West\, with extensive experience advising on impact\, knowledge mobilisation and implementation.\nDr Clare Thomas is co-lead for Knowledge Mobilisation at the NIHR Health Protection Research Unit in Evaluation and Behavioural Science\, University of Bristol.\nZoe Trinder-Widdess is Senior Research Communications Manager at Bristol NHS Foundation Trust and was previously Head of Communications at NIHR ARC West and NIHR Bristol Biomedical Research Centre.\n\nWho should attend\nThe course is open to all\, subject to the prerequisites\, and is particularly suited to researchers applying for funding\, especially from the NIHR. It is a good fit if you are working on a grant application or want to plan for impact and public involvement from the start of a project. \nBefore the course you will be asked to read a short blog on conversations about knowledge mobilisation with public contributors. Come with a research project or topic area in mind\, whether current work\, a future grant idea or simply a topic that interests you\, as you will draft a knowledge mobilisation plan for it during the day. \nFormat\nThe course runs online on Monday 30 November 2026 as a full day (around seven hours) of live sessions with interactive discussion. Course materials go up on Blackboard Ultra one to two weeks beforehand. Live lectures are recorded and uploaded within 24 hours\, and you keep access for five months after the course. Breakout sessions are not recorded. \nCost\nThe fee is £250. Check the fees and voucher packs page to see if you are eligible for a discount. Bookings close two weeks before the course starts\, on Monday 16 November 2026. \nBook a place \n\nOrganised by the Bristol Medical School Short Course Programme\, University of Bristol.

SUMMARY:Introduction to Stata
DESCRIPTION:A three-day live online short course from Bristol Medical School for anyone starting out with Stata\, covering the basic syntax you need to manage\, explore and summarise research data and produce tables and graphs. \nStata is one of the most widely used statistical software packages in health and medical research. This course introduces the software and its use for data management and data exploration\, giving you an overview of basic Stata syntax so you can manage and manipulate data and produce summary statistics and graphs. \nFor dementia researchers\, Stata is a staple of dementia epidemiology and cohort studies. If you are weighing up which software to learn\, our guide to free research tools for PhD students covers the alternatives\, and Drowning in data sets? Here’s how to cut them down to size has practical tips for working with large datasets. \nWhat the course covers\n\nGetting started with Stata\, including loading and saving files and finding help\nListing\, describing and summarising data\nNaming and labelling variables\nSubsetting data\nGenerating and replacing variables\nCreating tables\nImporting data from other programs and merging datasets\nLogs and do-files to document output and code\nCreating graphs\nWorking with dates (optional)\n\nThe course does not cover statistical testing\, although basic commands are included in the course materials. \nWhat you will learn\nBy the end of the course you should be able to: \n\nFind help on a given topic or command\nExplore a dataset in several ways\nAdd labels to make a dataset self-documenting\nRecode variables and derive new ones\nReorganise and simplify a dataset and handle missing values\nInput data from a variety of sources and combine two or more datasets\nProduce summary statistics\, tables and graphs\nKeep a record of your work so it is reproducible\nWork with dates (optional)\n\nTutors\nThe course is led by Susie Robinson-Molloy and Dr Hannah Jones\, both of whom have extensive experience of using Stata for data processing and analysis in research at Bristol Medical School. All the course tutors are Bristol Medical School researchers who use Stata in their own work. \nWho should attend\nThe course is open to all\, subject to the prerequisites\, and is aimed at people who are just starting to manage data and run simple descriptive statistics in Stata. No previous experience of Stata is needed. \nYou will need Stata installed before the course starts. Version 19 is ideal\, but version 14 or later will work\, although older versions may behave slightly differently. University of Bristol participants are given access; external participants need to arrange their own\, and students can use a free one-week short-term Stata student licence. A second screen is ideal\, so you can follow the course manual and the tutor’s Stata alongside your own. \nFormat\nThe course runs online over three consecutive days\, Tuesday 1 to Thursday 3 December 2026\, with live morning and afternoon sessions. A course manual is emailed in advance\, and materials go up on Blackboard Ultra one to two weeks beforehand. Live lectures are recorded and uploaded within 24 hours\, and you keep access for five months after the course. Breakout sessions are not recorded. \nCost\nThe fee is £750. Check the fees and voucher packs page to see if you are eligible for a discount. Bookings close two weeks before the course starts\, on Tuesday 17 November 2026. \nBook a place \n\nOrganised by the Bristol Medical School Short Course Programme\, University of Bristol.
