On Thursday 6th September, we welcomed 50 HSST trainees and over 30 academic and workplace supervisors to a day of workshops held in Manchester. Programme directors and programme administrators from The University of Manchester and Manchester Metropolitan University provided trainees and their supervisors with information and guidance on Section C.

The day started with trainees completing the full DClinSci and their supervisors attending programme specific sessions ran by their programme directors on how to plan the research project. Trainees who are not completing the full DClinSci attended a session on the extended innovation proposal and lay talk.

All trainees then attended a workshop on how to give a lay talk. The majority of trainees in attendance were in Cohort 3 so we welcomed back Joe Wood, a Cohort 2 Medical Physics: Radiotherapy trainee to give his lay talk to help trainees understand what the lay talk assessment involves.

In the afternoon, trainees attended a workshop on literature reviews and systematic reviews whilst supervisors met with programme directors to discuss assessment. The day ended with a Q&A session. Unfortunately a representative from the NSHCS was unable to attend the event, however, the NSHCS has provided responses to the relevant questions raised in the Q&A session and these are given below.

Podcasts and presentations from the day are provided below.
