International Research in Healthcare provides clear and concise guidance for researchers in the preparation, planning, management and execution of their work. It takes into account the impact of differing political, organizational, social and cultural contexts that international work presents.
Research across international borders presents challenges with the need to consider relevance of research objectives and feasibility of procedures in different settings while maintaining scientific integrity in terms of design, instruments and execution.
Personal accounts drawing on the experiences of researchers who have undertaken international projects illustrate the topics discussed.
International Research in Healthcare is an essential introductory textbook for postgraduate students and researchers thinking of undertaking a multi-center research project in health services, medicines use and professional practice. It is organized into chapters which, in a logical order, focus on each stage of the research process from preparatory work and setting up the project to analysis and dissemination of results.
This title is part of the ULLA Pharmacy Series – a new and innovative line of introductory textbooks on pharmaceutical science for students produced by the ULLA Consortium (European Consortium for Advanced Pharmaceutical Education and Research)
