Many hospitals, clinics and laboratories support research, but do not often lead their own studies. Journal clubs are excellent for discussing published papers from studies run elsewhere. A Research Club helps you go one step further.
The Global Health Network Research Clubs are friendly, open, regular meetings where colleagues come together to share ideas, build confidence, design studies, and generate evidence where they work. They are a practical way to embed research culture locally, using The Global Health Network tools, training and partnerships.
They are locally run, institutionally mandated learning and support group that equips frontline healthcare workers and research staff to identify locally relevant problems, develop pragmatic studies, deliver them ethically, and communicate findings for practice and policy impact.
The model uses a consistent meeting structure with facilitated discussion and a skills component, plus active peer support and troubleshooting. Over time it creates a lasting community of practice for research within healthcare settings.
